From Our Farm to Your Table - Here's How It Works
-YOU BUY IT, WE RAISE IT-
Your deposit reserves your name on one of our cattle or hogs. We are able to then sustainably plan our spring and fall herds this year and for next to prepare for each harvest season we offer. It's first come, first served, so order when deposits open so you're not the last to get your shipment! After you place your deposit, you'll receive an email confirmation automatically and receive real time updates as we get closer to your scheduled beef harvest time. Then just sit back, relax, and let us raise the best damn beef you've ever had!
-GET YOUR BEEF-
Your beef will be harvested at it's peak flavor during one of our 3 beef harvest seasons. We will make the final arrangements with our butchers and reach out to you with your final invoice so you can pay the remaining balance prior to shipping. Our butchers will then dry-age, process, vacuum-seal, and freeze your beef. Once your beef is ready (about 2-3 weeks later), we'll pack your share and schedule your shipping based on specified dates for your season of beef harvest. If you selected a pickup, we'll schedule that date also.
-ENJOY-
Enjoy The Best Farm-Raised Meats
Fire up the BBQ or oven and gather the family for a meal you can feel proud of. It's time to wow your family and friends with the best beef they've ever had. We hope you're prepared! You'll keep dinner time exciting with the variety of cuts available to you directly from your freezer. We ship your beef to your front door (or heck come to the farm and pick it up yourself) so you can enjoy a freezer full of nutrient-dense, delicious beef!
Delicious and Nutritious Beef
Why not have a freezer full of high quality, high in protein, mouth-watering beef in your freezer? Beef is the #1 food source for Protein, Vitamin B12 and Zinc. Beef is also the #3 food source of iron behind fortified cereal and grains. It also aids in the reduction of inflammation when mixed with the right meal plan. Isn't that incredible, not only are you getting these great health benefits from beef but your also supporting small family farms and the environment. Don't stop there!!! IT'S DELICIOUS!!!! Who wouldn't want to be the talk of the block or backyard during summer grilling season or for that matter anytime of the year serving readily available hamburger, steaks, roasts, you name it from your freezer that you purchased directly from a farm family, your new farm family! Not to mention the beef you buy directly from us is packaged and flash froze so there are no added preservatives or additives for a longer shelf life you commonly see put into meat on grocery store shelves. You know exactly what your getting when you buy directly from Down Home Beef. Food For Thought Don't You Think?

"We love Fass Family beef!! It is so tender and juicy; the ribeye's are some of the best cuts of meat we've ever had! Our boys clean their plate every time we have steaks. Just the hamburger alone has such incredible flavor. We are lucky to have such good quality beef so close to us. We are customers for life!

"We found out about Fass farms through Facebook! So glad we did. This family truly is friendly and cares about what they do. They helped us load up the meat even the kids. we recently grilled up some steaks and they were so tender and flavorful. We have started to tell friends and family. Good quality beef at a great price and safe! I feel better feeding this to my family over store meat! Thank you!" ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"We purchased our first beef from Eric in 2015 and been doing it annually since then. The high quality of the beef that Eric can produce on his farm is the reason we go back to him year after year. We purchase half a beef each year and split that with my sister and husband who live in Wisconsin. They have purchased beef back in Wisconsin before but once they tasted what Eric has to offer, they make a trip to Omaha each year for their beef. I would recommend that if you're looking for the best quality beef get a hold of Eric at Fass Farms.

Our Story
Our story is one of determination and hope. Plain and simple. Eric and I started a direct to consumer beef business in 2013 because we wanted other families to have the same access to nutritionally dense high quality healthy food just like we had available to us and were raising on our farm and ranch. We wanted others to know where their food was coming from and to be a part of that experience. That was the year we started Fass Farms Premium Beef and have never looked back. We are both very involved in our community through Eric having been our local Fire Chief prior his accident, our local church, community and school events, and numerous organizations. We've always liked being able to give back somehow and educating along the way. Then......one day it all changed.
Eric suffered a severe traumatic brain injury from a fall and later would suffer complete upper respiratory failure leaving him permanently disabled and requiring full-time care. Parts of him died that day and a lot of him will never be the same and recovery will be forever ongoing.
So....where do we go from here? Do we face the reality of walking away from what we worked so hard to build and were so passionate about? Considering the fact of adding even more change into our lives did not seem possible. Our journey down this new road has made us become more resilient in these new hard times and we have never for one minute given up hope that better days are ahead. God is good and our faith is strong! Through it all we've formed new relationships to include Argo Cattle and have rebranded Fass Farms where it all started to Down Home Beef. We have become a multi-family farm raising some of the highest quality wholesome beef in Southeast Nebraska. An experience and flavor you'll come back to every time! We take great pride in how we treat our land and raise our livestock. In turn we are able to provide savory, nutritious cuts of meat to other families and backyard grilling enthusiast!
We would love for you to Watch Our Video about "The Journey of Hope" our family story.
One of my favorite sayings,
"God can restore what is broken and change it into something amazing all you need is faith".
