Grass Fed Beef Costa Rica

Looking for grass fed beef in Costa Rica? We carry beef from three different providers, giving you a much wider selection than a single farm or butcher.

Our grass-fed beef providers are:

Grass-Fed Costa Rica

Express Meat

Finca Santa Cecilia

Between them, you can find everyday ground beef, steaks, ribeye, tri-tip, ribs, stew meat, marrow bones, beef tallow, organ meats, deli meats, jerky and other cuts.

Grass-Fed Costa Rica deserves special attention. It is a Costa Rican regenerative livestock producer and, in 2026, became the first farm in Costa Rica to obtain Land to Market® regenerative verification through the Savory Institute program. The verification is based on measured ecological outcomes rather than a farm simply describing its own practices as regenerative.

You can order grass-fed beef online through us and combine it with fresh produce, dairy, pantry products and the rest of your grocery order for delivery in Costa Rica.

Where To Buy Grass Fed Beef In Costa Rica

Finding beef in Costa Rica is easy.

Finding beef where you can identify the producer, understand how the cattle were raised and choose among different cuts takes more work.

That is why we work with multiple meat providers rather than offering only one option.

Our Grass-Fed Costa Rica selection is the largest of the three and includes a broad range of beef products along with other pasture-raised meats.

Express Meat gives us another source for grass-fed ground beef as well as premium Angus cuts.

Finca Santa Cecilia provides grass-fed beef ranging from ground beef and stew meat to ribeye, tri-tip, ribs, bones and tallow.

This gives you flexibility.

You do not need to buy every cut from the same provider. You can compare sizes, cuts and styles and build your order around what you are cooking that week.

Grass-Fed Costa Rica: Regenerative Beef Raised In Costa Rica

Grass-Fed Costa Rica is much more than a beef brand.

Its production model is centered on regenerative grazing.

The farm describes its approach as regenerative livestock management in which grazing animals are integrated into the natural processes of the land. The goal is for livestock, pasture and soil to function together rather than treating cattle production separately from the ecosystem.

That matters because the term “grass-fed” alone does not tell you everything about how a farm manages soil, water, biodiversity or pasture.

Grass-Fed Costa Rica has gone a step further by having ecological outcomes measured through Land to Market and Ecological Outcome Verification.

Costa Rica's First Land To Market Verified Regenerative Farm

In July 2026, Grass-Fed Costa Rica became the first farm in Costa Rica to receive Land to Market verification for regenerative meat production. Costa Rican business publication La República reported that the recognition followed scientific measurements conducted over a three-year period.

This is important because Land to Market does not simply award a label based on a list of farming practices.

Land to Market is a Savory Institute initiative built around Ecological Outcome Verification, commonly shortened to EOV.

EOV is an outcomes-based system.

Instead of only asking whether a farmer follows certain practices, it measures what is happening to the land over time.

That distinction is important if you are buying regenerative or grass-fed beef because you want more than marketing language.

What Does Land To Market Verification Measure?

Land to Market uses Savory Institute’s Ecological Outcome Verification protocol to evaluate changes in ecosystem health.

Measurements include soil health, water infiltration, biodiversity, soil carbon and broader ecosystem function. Monitoring is performed by trained accredited verifiers, with data reviewed through regional verification and global quality-assurance processes.

Grass-Fed Costa Rica identifies four major areas evaluated on its farm:

  • Soil health and biology
  • Biodiversity in the pasture
  • Water cycling and infiltration
  • Carbon stored in the soil

These are measured outcomes rather than a checklist saying a farm used a particular technique.

Land to Market describes EOV as the science underlying its regenerative verification system. Farms showing positive outcomes through EOV can qualify for its Verified Regenerative Supplier Roster.

That makes the certification especially relevant for customers who care about how their food production affects the land.

What Is Ecological Outcome Verification?

Ecological Outcome Verification was developed by the Savory Institute together with organizations and researchers including Michigan State University, Texas A&M, Ovis 21 and The Nature Conservancy.

The system evaluates both shorter-term and longer-term indicators of ecosystem health.

Rather than prescribing one exact method every farm must follow, EOV measures whether the land is improving or declining.

Land to Market describes the approach as based on continuous improvement.

That means a producer must show evidence that the landscape is moving in a regenerative direction rather than simply adopting the word “regenerative.”

For shoppers, this gives the term more substance.

If you are specifically looking for regenerative grass-fed beef in Costa Rica, Grass-Fed Costa Rica is the provider in our selection with this verified ecological-outcome distinction.

Regenerative Grazing At Grass-Fed Costa Rica

Grass-Fed Costa Rica’s philosophy is based on letting animals interact with pasture as part of the ecological system.

Their regenerative grazing approach is intended to support pasture recovery and natural soil processes as animals move through the landscape.

That differs from intensive confinement systems where cattle spend significant periods separated from pasture.

Regenerative grazing focuses much more heavily on managing the relationship between livestock and the land.

The meaningful part here is not the word regenerative by itself.

The Land to Market verification gives customers a way to know that ecological outcomes are being measured.

Grass-Fed Costa Rica Beef Selection

Grass-Fed Costa Rica has an unusually broad beef range.

Its own beef catalog contains dozens of products across premium cuts, steaks, soup meat, ground beef, organs and bones.

Through our Grass-Fed Costa Rica category, you can find products for very different types of cooking.

The selection includes ground beef, bone marrow, roast beef, pastrami, chorizo, jerky and other products.

Grass-Fed Costa Rica’s own complete beef range includes cuts such as brisket, tri-tip, skirt steak, ribs, stew meat and multiple organ cuts.

This is one of the reasons we feature the brand so heavily.

It is not limited to expensive steak cuts. You can buy grass-fed beef for burgers, soups, slow cooking, grilling and nose-to-tail cooking.

Grass-Fed Ground Beef

Ground beef is one of the easiest ways to start buying grass-fed beef.

Grass-Fed Costa Rica produces several different fat levels rather than offering a single ground beef.

Its range includes approximately 3% to 5% fat, 10% to 15% fat, 20%+ fat and a ground mix containing organ meats including liver, heart and kidney.

We currently carry different ground beef fat options from Grass-Fed Costa Rica through our Grass-Fed category.

The leaner option is useful when you want less rendered fat during cooking.

A higher-fat grind can make more sense for burgers or recipes where fat contributes to texture and flavor.

The right option depends on what you are cooking.

Grass-Fed Steaks And Premium Cuts

Grass-fed beef does not mean you are limited to ground beef and stew meat.

Grass-Fed Costa Rica produces premium Brangus cuts as part of its beef range.

The Brangus selection includes ribeye, New York steak, picanha, tri-tip, skirt steak, flat iron, tenderloin and flank steak.

If you are planning a barbecue or steak dinner, these are the cuts to look for.

Ribeye

Ribeye is one of the richer steak cuts and works particularly well over high heat.

Grass-Fed Costa Rica’s Brangus range includes ribeye portions around 500 to 650g.

Picanha

Picanha, also known as punta de solomo, is especially popular for grilling and Brazilian-style barbecue.

Grass-Fed Costa Rica offers Brangus picanha in larger pieces of roughly 1.1 to 1.6kg.

Tri-Tip

Tri-tip, or cuadril, works well grilled or roasted and then sliced across the grain.

Grass-Fed Costa Rica’s Brangus line includes approximately 1.2kg tri-tip cuts.

Tenderloin

For a particularly tender cut, the Brangus range also includes beef tenderloin.

This is the type of cut to consider for filet-style steaks or a whole tenderloin preparation.

Beef Bones, Marrow And Organ Meats

One thing we like about the Grass-Fed Costa Rica range is that the animal is not treated as if steaks are the only useful cuts.

The brand also produces marrow bones, mixed bones, heart, liver, tongue, kidney, tripe and other less common beef products.

Through our store you can find products such as Grass-Fed Costa Rica bone marrow as part of the broader selection.

These products are useful for customers making stock, bone broth, traditional dishes or nose-to-tail meals.

If your reason for buying grass-fed beef extends beyond steak, this part of the range is worth exploring.

Grass-Fed Deli Meat And Jerky

Grass-Fed Costa Rica also turns its beef into ready-to-eat and cured products.

Our selection can include roast beef, pastrami and beef jerky from the brand.

The company’s beef jerky is made from pasture-raised beef and is marketed as free of added hormones and antibiotics. Grass-Fed Costa Rica also describes the jerky as having no added sugar, high-fructose corn syrup, nitrates or nitrites.

Available jerky flavors from the producer include Spicy Chipotle, Maple Original, Teriyaki and Honey Pineapple.

These products give you another way to buy grass-fed beef without cooking a steak or full meal.

Grass-Fed Brangus Beef

Grass-Fed Costa Rica has also developed a dedicated Brangus line.

Brangus cattle combine Angus and Brahman genetics, a combination widely used in warmer climates.

For the shopper, what matters most is the range of cuts.

The Grass-Fed Brangus category currently includes ten products ranging from burger blends to premium ribeye, picanha, New York steak, tenderloin and skirt steak.

This gives customers searching for premium grass-fed steak in Costa Rica a specific range to explore rather than having to settle for whatever cut happens to be available.

Express Meat Grass-Fed Beef

Our second grass-fed beef provider is Express Meat.

Express Meat has a different product mix.

We carry 500g grass-fed ground beef from Express Meat in both approximately 5% and 15% fat options.

This is useful if you want to compare ground beef between providers.

Express Meat also carries premium Angus Prime cuts through us, including ribeye, New York, skirt steak and sirloin cap. Those Angus Prime products should not automatically be confused with the grass-fed ground beef simply because they come from the same provider.

We keep that distinction clear because “grass-fed” should describe the specific beef you are buying, not become a blanket claim attached to every product from a supplier.

If you want the Express Meat grass-fed option, look specifically for the products marked grass fed.

Finca Santa Cecilia Grass-Fed Beef

Our third provider is Finca Santa Cecilia.

The Santa Cecilia beef range gives us another broad selection of practical everyday cuts and steak options.

Current products include sirloin tip, beef short ribs, stew meat, chopped ribs, beef bones, tri-tip, ribeye and several ground beef fat levels. We also carry beef tallow from the farm.

For ground beef, you can choose between 5%, 10% and 20% fat options.

That makes Santa Cecilia useful for customers who want to choose the fat percentage based on the recipe.

Use leaner ground beef for dishes where you want less rendered fat.

Choose a higher percentage for burgers, meatballs or other recipes where more fat may improve texture.

Three Grass-Fed Beef Providers, Different Strengths

We carry three providers because no single supplier needs to cover every type of customer.

Grass-Fed Costa Rica has the strongest regenerative verification story and one of the widest specialty ranges.

Express Meat provides convenient 500g grass-fed ground beef choices and is a very good tender meat that comes from Nicaragua. 

Finca Santa Cecilia gives us another strong selection of ground beef, steaks, ribs, bones, stew meat and tallow.

That lets you choose according to cut and use rather than being locked into one brand. Everyone has a different favorite depending on ones individual taste. 

What Does Grass-Fed Beef Mean?

Grass-fed beef comes from cattle whose diet is based on grass and forage rather than a conventional grain-heavy feedlot diet.

The exact meaning of grass-fed can vary between standards and markets.

This is why we pay attention to the producer rather than relying only on one phrase.

A “grass-fed” claim tells you something important about feeding.

It does not automatically tell you everything about pasture management, animal movement, soil health, biodiversity, water management or whether the beef is grass-finished.

Those are separate questions.

With Grass-Fed Costa Rica, we have the added Land to Market verification related to regenerative land outcomes.

Grass-Fed Vs Regenerative Beef

These terms overlap, but they do not mean exactly the same thing.

Grass-fed describes what cattle eat.

Regenerative agriculture looks more broadly at how the farming system interacts with soil, pasture, water, biodiversity and ecosystem health.

A farm can call its cattle grass-fed without having third-party verification of regenerative ecological outcomes.

That is why Grass-Fed Costa Rica’s Land to Market verification matters.

The EOV system measures whether the land itself is showing signs of regeneration.

For customers who care about both cattle diet and the condition of the land where the cattle are raised, that is an important distinction.

Grass-Fed Vs Grass-Finished Beef

You may also encounter the term grass-finished.

Grass-fed and grass-finished are sometimes used interchangeably in casual conversation, but they can represent different claims depending on the standard being used.

If you specifically require beef that remained exclusively on forage through finishing, check the information for the individual producer or product rather than assuming every product labeled grass-fed automatically meets the same finishing standard.

We would rather make a narrower accurate claim than turn “grass fed” into a vague marketing phrase.

Does Grass-Fed Beef Taste Different?

It can.

Diet, breed, age, cut, fat content, aging and cooking method all affect the final flavor.

Grass-fed beef is often leaner than heavily grain-finished beef, which means cooking technique matters.

That is especially important with lean steaks.

A ribeye can tolerate high heat because of its fat.

A leaner steak may become dry if it is cooked too far.

Ground beef is easier because you can choose the fat percentage that fits your recipe.

Our selection ranges from very lean ground beef to much higher-fat options.

How To Cook Grass-Fed Steak

Start with the cut.

Ribeye, New York, picanha, tenderloin and tri-tip should not all be cooked exactly the same way.

For individual steaks, use high heat to develop browning and pay close attention to internal temperature.

For larger pieces such as picanha or tri-tip, cook them whole and slice after resting.

Cut across the grain when serving tri-tip, skirt steak and similar cuts.

If you are used to heavily marbled grain-finished beef, be careful about overcooking a leaner grass-fed steak.

Less cooking can make a major difference to tenderness.

Which Grass-Fed Ground Beef Should You Buy?

Fat percentage matters.

For lean everyday cooking, choose something around 3% to 5% fat.

For tacos, meat sauces and casseroles, 10% to 15% is a flexible middle ground.

For burgers, you may prefer a higher-fat grind.

Grass-Fed Costa Rica offers several fat levels, and Finca Santa Cecilia also gives you 5%, 10% and 20% choices. Express Meat offers grass-fed ground beef at approximately 5% and 15% fat.

That means you can choose based on the dish instead of treating all ground beef as the same product.

Grass-Fed Beef For Burgers

For burgers, fat is your friend.

Very lean ground beef can work, but it leaves less margin for error on the grill.

A moderate or higher-fat grind generally gives you a juicier burger.

If you want a leaner burger, choose the 5% option and watch the cooking time carefully.

If flavor and juiciness matter more than minimizing fat, look at one of the higher-fat grinds.

Grass-Fed Costa Rica also produces a dedicated Brangus Burger Blend.

Grass-Fed Beef For Slow Cooking

Not every great grass-fed beef meal needs an expensive steak.

Stew meat, brisket, ribs, ossobuco, oxtail and other hard-working cuts benefit from slower cooking.

Grass-Fed Costa Rica’s beef selection includes brisket, ribs and multiple soup and braising cuts.

Finca Santa Cecilia also gives you stew meat, ribs and chopped beef bones.

These cuts can be excellent choices for soups, stews and long braises.

Grass-Fed Beef For Bone Broth And Stock

If you make your own stock or bone broth, look beyond steak cuts.

Grass-Fed Costa Rica offers mixed bones and marrow bones as part of its beef range.

Finca Santa Cecilia also provides beef bones and chopped beef bones with meat.

The difference depends on what you want from the stock.

Marrow bones add richness.

Bones with meat attached contribute more beef flavor.

A mix can give you both.

Beef Tallow

Tallow has become popular again for cooking.

We carry beef tallow from more than one of our beef providers, including Express Meat and Finca Santa Cecilia.

Tallow is rendered beef fat and can be used for high-heat cooking, roasting and frying.

If you buy grass-fed beef because you want to use more of the animal rather than only the steaks, tallow fits naturally into that approach.

Is Grass-Fed Beef Organic?

Not automatically.

Grass-fed and organic are different claims.

Do not assume beef is certified organic simply because cattle eat grass or because a producer uses regenerative practices.

Likewise, regenerative verification does not automatically equal organic certification.

Grass-Fed Costa Rica’s standout certification is Land to Market regenerative verification.

We will not label a product organic unless the specific product or producer has the relevant verified organic certification.

Is Grass-Fed Beef Healthier?

Beef provides protein, iron, zinc, vitamin B12 and other nutrients, regardless of whether it is grass-fed or grain-finished.

Research has found nutritional differences between grass-fed and grain-fed beef, particularly in fatty-acid profiles, but the exact nutrition depends on the animal, cut and production system.

We do not treat grass-fed beef as a medical product.

For us, the stronger reasons to offer it are transparency, feeding practices, producer choice, regenerative farming options and the quality and variety of the meat.

Why Regenerative Certification Matters

Food labels can become vague.

Words such as natural, sustainable and regenerative can sound impressive without telling you what was measured.

Land to Market takes a different approach.

Its Ecological Outcome Verification protocol looks at environmental results and tracks whether a landscape is regenerating or degenerating over time.

The system considers soil health and fertility, carbon, the soil’s ability to hold water and biodiversity including soil biology, plants and wildlife.

That is why Grass-Fed Costa Rica becoming Costa Rica’s first Land to Market verified farm is worth highlighting.

It gives customers a concrete way to distinguish a regenerative claim backed by measured ecological outcomes from one based only on branding.

Local Grass-Fed Beef In Costa Rica

All three providers give us ways to source grass-fed beef within Costa Rica rather than building this page around imported frozen beef.

Grass-Fed Costa Rica specifically identifies its pasture-raised meat as a national product produced under regenerative agriculture and grazing practices.

For customers who want to know more about where their meat comes from, having named farms and suppliers is valuable.

You can decide which production story, cut and price point best fits your household.
