About Us

Upper Iowa Beef, located in a small community in Northeast Iowa, opened in 2017. The company is owned and operated by individuals actively involved in agriculture and beef production. Upper Iowa Beef works with family-owned and operated farms in the Upper Midwest. We believe in providing humane care for our animals, respecting the farmers who raise the cattle, and providing transparent information to the families who will enjoy our beef at their dinner table. We are on a journey that involves sustainability, compassion, common sense, and bringing food production back to a local level.

Our state-of-the-art facility was professionally designed and built for efficient, sustainable, quality beef processing, where attention to detail is evident. Upper Iowa Beef understands the value of investing and continuing to expand in new technologies to improve processing, packaging, and delivery.

Our Vision:

"Know Your Farmer. Know Your Beef."

Upper Iowa Beef’s vision is shared through our employees, suppliers, cattle producers, and distributors. We strive to provide our customers with the highest quality meat while utilizing sustainable practices and always focusing on food safety.

Your Partner In Sustainable Beef Production

At Upper Iowa Beef, we believe the agriculture industry must meet the needs of existing and future generations. Sustainable beef production must be environmentally sound, socially responsible, and economically viable. It involves cattle producers, product distributors, and our role in beef production. We continually connect with our cattle producers to learn more about their operation and how we can help further educate them on sustainable practices. Upper Iowa Beef is a proud member of the U.S. Roundtable for Sustainable Beef (USRSB).
