Rooted in the land
Good food starts with knowing how it’s raised.
We raise grass-fed beef here in West Michigan. We believe you should be able to ask honest questions about the food you bring home.
Farm notes
Grass-fed and grass-finished
Our cattle eat fresh pasture and stored grasses (hay or grass silage), never grain.
A fresh paddock every day
We move the herd daily so grazed ground can rest and regrow. In winter we bale graze, setting round bales out on pasture.
What we never use
No hormones or steroids, no routine antibiotics, no GMO feed, no animal by-products, and no herbicides or pesticides.
We're members of the Food Animal Concerns Trust (FACT), which promotes safe and humane meat production.
Meet your farmers
A family farm. A personal connection.
Sugar Creek Farms is Tom and Michelle Krcatovich’s family farm. We started raising beef in the early 1990s to feed our own family. As time went on, we wanted to improve the land and do our part to shrink our footprint, and that led us to regenerative agriculture.
Our faith is at the center of how we farm. We believe the land and our cattle are God’s, and our job is to care for them the way He intended. We’re blessed to have what we have, and we’re trying our best to be good stewards of it.
We keep the farm small and sell only beef we raised ourselves. Behind every order are real people, and we look forward to helping you get to know your food and your farmers.
Before you head our way
Let’s make pickup easy.
Where and when can I pick up?
- Allegan (Allegan, MI). Pickup at the farm or delivery, scheduled ahead. Contact us to set a time.
- Holland Farmers Market (Holland, MI). Wednesdays and Saturdays during the market season.
- Wheaton (Wheaton, IL). One weekend a month. Contact us for the next date.
Do you ship?
No. We don't ship our beef.
Is the beef frozen?
Yes. All of our beef is flash frozen right after processing. It never sits on a store shelf first and gets frozen later to stretch its shelf life, which is common practice in the industry.
How much freezer space will I need?
As a rule of thumb, one cubic foot of freezer space holds up to 25 pounds of meat.
