Florida’s Source for High-Quality Wagyu Cattle

Unlike factory farming and huge feedlots that push accelerated growth, Green Tree Ranch focuses on an environmentally sustainable operation that improves the land. By combining traditional pasture grazing, silvopasture, and the Florida sunshine, we’ve created an environment where our cattle can live their best lives.

We use locally produced feeds to boost nutrition during the months when grass and plant growth is limited, and we only provide hay from a limited number of local farmers with whom we’ve partnered. Additionally, our cattle are raised using low-stress cattle-handling techniques at all times. We never use cattle prods. At Green Tree Ranch, we know that happy cows treated with respect and dignity in a relaxed environment make for a better product.

Our beef processing is completed under the gaze of a USDA inspector and laboratory, with our beef being certified as safe for the public. The Wagyu beef we produce is graded well above prime—the highest rating awarded in the US. However, the Japanese system grades five levels above prime. You can find our beef in local restaurants, butcher shops, and markets, especially those specializing in farm-to-table and locally grown food.

• Locally raised and grass-fed with no hormone or additives.
• Finished with grass or grain assist per customer request, duplicating the feed mix found in the wild. This modified version of the Japanese finish is more natural, uses our resources to the fullest, and creates an affordable above-prime product.
• Known for its fat profile, closely resembling olive oil and salmon.
• High in monounsaturated (healthy) fat.
• High in oleic acid that supports heart health.
• High in omega 3, 6, and 9 fatty acids.
• Lower in cholesterol than turkey, chicken, or fish.
• High in conjugated linoleic acid, which is known to aid in weight loss, prevent type 2 diabetes, and reduce the risk of heart disease.

Because the fat in Wagyu beef melts at a lower temperature than the human body, it’s important that it’s not overcooked. Medium rare is the ideal cooking target. Using a grill mat and refraining from cooking directly over an open fire help preserve this high-quality beef’s juiciness and distinctive flavor. We recommend that new Wagyu customers seek online resources to help perfect their cooking techniques.
