KOREO BEEF
Koreo Farm premium quality, dry aged beef
Our recommended butchers dry-age our beef for 10-14 days - resulting in tender, natural and intensely flavored cuts with superior texture and flavor.
Most beef purchased through traditional grocery stores has been “wet aged”, which means it has been cut and packaged right away and aged in its own juices. This method doesn't have the same beneficial effects that dry-aging has on texture and flavor. Additionally, in the end, you pay more for the weight of the extra liquid content in the meat.

We take care of contacting your chosen butcher and arranging a harvest date. We, then transport the animal from the farm to the facility at NO ADDITIONAL CHARGE.
It is important to note that both of our chosen processors are within a half an hour of the farm. This short distance in transport means reduced stress on the animal, contributing to a better quality meat.
