OUR FARM JOURNEY
WHEN IT ALL BEGAN
1998
Out of a love for Hunting, Fishing and just being Outdoors - Founder Steve McBee bought the first tract of land, a 300 acre piece, all the way back in 1998 for $500/acre. Picture is the old farmhouse the boys would stay at every weekend on the original tract.
THE START OF THE FARM
2005
After having some issues with the local Farmer letting friends all over the land, Steve decided to take on farming himself - having no idea what to do or how to do it. Little did he know what this would become someday.
INTRODUCING CATTLE TO THE FARM
2009
After farming for a few seasons, Steve wanted to try his hand at cattle ranching - knowing how important growing our own food and being self-sustained is in an increasingly crazy world.
SELLING MEAT SNACKS AND THE RISE OF APEX
2018
After Steven joined the farm full time, he decided to go all in on becoming fully vertically integrated - growing the idea out in phases and beginning with Apex Protein Snacks, which sell high-protein shelf stable meat snacks like beef jerky, snack sticks and summer sausage.
THE MEAT FACILITY ... AND OUR TV SHOW
2023
Finally - the full year our vision had come to fruition. Growing herds raised on pastures and feed we had grown, and sending them through our own meat facility to be turned into some of the highest-quality, best tasting meat products available anywhere. This year also threw us an interesting curveball - filming a reality TV show about our family farm!
SHIPPING MEAT NATIONWIDE
2024 to now
Now learning what it takes to ship meats nationwide, we're finally ready to fulfill on what has been a decades long goal! Our mission is to bring America back to the Farms & Ranches it was built on by way of delivering nationwide the highest-quality, best-raised meats available!
