Who We Are
Upper Iowa Beef
Upper Iowa Beef is proud to be based in a small community in Northeast Iowa. Since our opening in 2017, we have been owned and operated by individuals deeply engaged in agriculture and beef production. We partner with family owned farms across the Upper Midwest, working together to provide humane care for our animals, honor the farmers who raise them, and give families clear, transparent information about the beef they bring to their tables. Our journey is guided by sustainability, compassion, common sense, and a mission to bring food production closer to home.
Our state of the art facility was thoughtfully designed to process beef efficiently, sustainably, and with a focus on quality at every step. At Upper Iowa Beef, we understand the importance of investing in technology, continuously improving processing, packaging, and delivery to provide the highest standard of service to our partners and customers.
