WE ARE THE VOICE FOR South Carolina BEEF
Who We Are
The mission of South Carolina Beef Marketing Cooperative is to promote the production, processing and consumption of beef and beef products, cattle and the processing of cattle raised by its members in the state of South Carolina by promoting educational and economic development projects related to this purpose.
From the Farm
We’re committed to promoting local South Carolina beef because we understand why people want to know where their food comes from. Our cattle are never given growth hormones or antibiotics and are always handled using approved agricultural practices to minimize unnecessary stress on them. We invite you to take a ride along our scenic South Carolina highways and visit the farms where your beef was raised, talk with our producers and take home some of the most delicious beef you’ll find anywhere.
To The Table
When you purchase local meat, you’re not only making a healthy choice for your family, you ‘re making a better choice for our planet. South Carolina Verified Beef hasn’t been shipped west to be fattened and processed before returning to you in a box having burned hundreds of gallons of fuel. Local grass pastures filter rain water that runs into our creeks, rivers and lakes and absorb carbon out of the atmosphere to be stored in the soil. Locally raised beef has no added water or preservatives and is known for its superior taste whether prepared in the crock pot for Sunday dinner or grilled for a Saturday game tailgate.
