John Rowe’s mission is to revive grass-fed beef
John Rowe isn’t ready to give up his tractor just yet, but the livestock farmer and founder of the Rowe Farms brand of hormone- and antibiotic-free meats says that’s where he is headed.
After more than 30 years of selling locally raised, needle-free beef, poultry and pork, and leading a collective of farmers to do the same, he is turning his attention to resurrecting all-grass-fed beef. This is part of a goal to develop an “energy- efficient model of farming.”
