Dallas - March 13, 2013 -Foodies from all across the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex looking for natural and healthy beef options are ordering Chisholm Trail Grass-fed Beef online from locally owned and operated co-op, Farm to Fork Foods.

The Arlington-based co-op owned by Krista and Micah Grant has seen success with all of their healthy, all natural food options including the Chisholm Trail Grass-fed Beef products. In fact, consumers looking for products raised locally have turned to the Farm to Fork's natural food website and social media pages to place orders for healthy meat they can't find in stores.
"We started a co-op so we could buy directly from local ranchers we could get to know, like Chisholm Trail Grass-fed Beef," said Krista Grant, owner, Farm to Fork Foods. "Because grass-fed beef is not very easy to find, our customers are excited every time we offer it! In fact, many of our members are parents of small children, and they find it convenient to have a ready-to-eat healthy meat options in the freezer."
For the Grants, all it took was one bite of Chisholm Trail grass-fed beef and they were hooked! To test the market, Krista turned to Farm to Fork's Facebook community, which has 1,000 fans and is growing, to share the good news and garner interest in providing the meat to her customers. "It was a longhorn beef night at the Farm to Fork household! Every time I eat these steaks I am blown away by the flavor, the tenderness and the moistness," said Grant.
Grant's business is unique because it's all ordered online and picked up in person; no store front required.

We're able to provide all natural, local products at prices all families can afford. In addition, because we have great relationships with our vendors, we know exactly where the food is coming from."
