Transparency, Start to Finish
How It Works
From open pasture in Humboldt County to your freezer in Southern California — here's exactly how Del Toro Farms raises, finishes, and delivers your beef.
Humboldt County, CA
Born & Raised Free Range
Every Del Toro Farms animal is born on our free-range pastures in Humboldt County — one of California's most pristine ranching regions. The land is lush, fog-cooled, and rich with natural forage. Our cattle graze open hillsides from day one.
There are no feedlots here. No confinement. No crowding. Our animals have room to roam, graze, and live the way cattle are meant to live. This isn't a marketing claim — it's just how we ranch.

Southern California
Finished on Fodder
When our cattle are ready for finishing, they're transported to our Southern California farm. Here they're finished on fodder — a clean, sprouted grain feed grown in trays and fed fresh daily.
Fodder is highly digestible, nutrient-dense, and produced without synthetic fertilizers or pesticides. It gives us full control over what our animals eat in their final weeks — and it produces beef with exceptional marbling and rich, clean flavor that conventional finishing simply can't match.

Humane Processing
Processed with Care
Every animal is processed humanely and with respect. We are committed to low-stress handling at every stage — because the way an animal is treated matters right to the end, and it shows in the quality of the beef.
After processing, the beef is dry-aged to develop flavor and tenderness, then cut to specification, vacuum sealed, and labeled. Every package is clearly marked with the cut and weight — no mystery, no guesswork.

Ready for Your Freezer
Pickup or Delivery
Your beef share is packed and ready to go. Pickup is available at our Southern California location. Depending on where you are, delivery may also be an option — reach out and we'll work it out.
Every package arrives vacuum sealed, labeled, and ready for the freezer. A quarter share fits in a standard 7 cu ft chest freezer. A half share needs 10–14 cu ft. A full share needs 20–28 cu ft.

Why This Way?
The industrial beef system optimizes for speed and volume. We optimize for quality and integrity. Free-range raising produces healthier, more flavorful beef. Fodder finishing gives us clean control over the final product. Humane processing reduces stress hormones in the meat. Every choice we make is deliberate — and you can taste the difference.
