Boyd Farms Fresh
News Reporter
This week on the Farm Traveler Podcast, I interview the family behind Boyd Fresh Farms, a 7th generation cattle ranch that is pivoting to a farm-to-table model.
Former Florida and US Congressmen, Alan Boyd and his family are the owners behind Boyd Farms Fresh, a beef ranch located near the Florida/Georiga border. In our interview, Alan discusses their reasoning on the pivot which was a result of some of the processing issues caused by the pandemic.
"Fresh beef got shortened in the grocery store and the farmers didn't have an outlet for theirs, then it got really cheap. My wife, and Suzanne, and the boys, we all talked about it and decided to pivot this operation into a farm to table. Which is very, it's not an easy project for fresh beef. Especially in this part of the country where there are very few harvest plants for beef."
