Regenerative Ranching
Regenerative ranching
Rooted in healthy land.
Why our tallow comes from regenerative family ranches in Montana, and what that means for the land.
Regenerative ranching raises cattle in a way that rebuilds the soil. The herd moves often, the grass gets time to grow back, and the land gets healthier over time.
How it works
Rotational grazing, living soil.
Cattle on the move
The herd grazes one section of pasture at a time, then moves on, the way bison once moved across the West.
Pasture gets to rest
Rested grass grows back with deeper roots, and those roots feed the life in the soil.
Better land every year
Healthy soil holds more water, so pastures handle dry Montana summers better.
From the ranch to your jar
Grass-fed, grass-finished Montana tallow.
Our tallow comes from cattle raised on grass on regenerative family ranches in Montana. We use only suet, the firm fat from around the kidneys.
Suet is a higher-quality fat than the cheaper beef trimmings many skincare brands use. Trimmings are more likely to carry the beefy smell some tallow products are known for. That's why we use suet only, and never need to bleach or deodorize it.
Beef from grass-fed cattle carries more beta-carotene, vitamin E, and omega-3s than beef from grain-fed cattle.1

Our ranch partners
Montana family ranches.
Our tallow comes from family ranches here in Montana. One of them, Forward Farms (pictured), is one of the few ranches in the U.S. certified carbon-neutral.3
Buying from them keeps our money with ranching families who take care of their land.
A traditional ingredient
Tallow has been used for generations.
People cared for their skin with tallow long before modern lotions. It came from local ranches, from cattle raised on grass.
We're bringing that back: grass-fed suet from regenerative family ranches here in Montana.
Why it costs a little more
Healthy land takes years to build.
We'd rather pay more and buy from the families doing that work.
Why we choose regenerative
Good for the land, good for the families who work it.
Regenerative grazing can help pull carbon from the air back into the soil. In a Michigan State University study, soil on a regeneratively grazed farm gained about 3.5 metric tons of carbon per hectare each year.2

Regenerative questions
Good questions.
What does regenerative mean?
Farming and ranching that rebuilds soil health over time, through practices like rotational grazing and giving pastures time to rest.
Is your tallow organic?
Our tallow is grass-fed, grass-finished, and from regenerative family ranches. It isn't certified organic. Our jojoba oil is organic.
How is regenerative different from sustainable?
Sustainable practices aim to keep land in its current condition. Regenerative practices aim to leave it healthier each year.
Why not buy cheaper tallow?
We want to know where our tallow comes from. We buy from hardworking American family ranchers who raise their cattle the way we'd want them raised. Many brands import cheap tallow from China and can't trace where it came from.
Suet also makes a difference you can feel. It's firmer than cheap trimmings fat, and with jojoba it gives our balm and cream a less greasy feel.
βI love this new whipped cream! Itβs lighter than the balm which is better in the warmer weather here in Florida . Itβs so smooth and a little goes a long way. Most importantly itβs grass fed and made here in the USA by a small business who really gives you personal attention if you have a question. 5 stars from meβ¦. love the product and the company!β
