At McLeod Meats, we’re redefining the relationship between farmers, restaurants, and communities, one exclusive, small-herd American Wagyu animal at a time.
A Legacy of Excellence in American Wagyu
McLeod Meats isn’t just a provider of premium beef, it’s a commitment to quality, sustainability, and community. Co-founded by Conner McLeod and Anthony DiLiberto, McLeod Meats sources American Wagyu and Angus beef directly from a farm owned and managed by Conner and the McLeod family. The farm has been in his family for over 100 years providing beef to their local Idaho and Pacific Northwest communities. The philosophy of the farm is simple, quality over quantity. McLeod Meets was built with that same 100 year philosophy.
In an industry where mass production often sacrifices the natural quality of meat in favor of faster growth and larger herds, McLeod Meats stands out by creating a more personalized, sustainable approach to farming. No hormones, no chemicals, and no shortcuts, just pure, high-quality beef grown with care. The result? Beef with exceptional flavor and texture, a direct reflection of the natural, well-maintained genetics of the herd.
The Real Farm-to-Plate Experience: Exclusivity Meets Sustainability
What makes McLeod Meats truly unique is the focus on providing an exclusive farm-to-plate experience. Unlike larger beef suppliers, McLeod Meats offers limited availability of its American Wagyu, only available twice a year due to the small-herd approach. This ensures that every cut of beef is top-tier and doesn’t come with the compromise of overproduction.
“We focus on quality, not quantity,” says DiLiberto. “Our small-herd approach means we can ensure each animal is treated with the utmost care, allowing us to cultivate a product that is both sustainable and exceptional in taste.”
A Partnership Like No Other: Restaurants Taking Control
The core of McLeod Meats’ mission is to redefine the farm-to-table relationship, not just from the perspective of consumers, but from restaurants as well. McLeod Meats offers select restaurant partners the opportunity to own and brand their very own herd of American Wagyu or Angus beef, creating a customizable and exclusive partnership that ensures both quality control and ownership over the beef that’s served to their customers. This innovative model sets McLeod Meats apart, creating a symbiotic relationship between ranchers and restaurants, with no middlemen or added costs.
This approach offers restaurant partners a chance to create bespoke, high-quality beef programs that cater specifically to their clientele, making the farm-to-plate experience more authentic, more affordable, and ultimately more satisfying for both restaurant owners and customers.
The Healthier, More Sustainable Beef Option
In today’s world, people are increasingly asking where their food comes from. McLeod Meats answers that question loud and clear: it comes from sustainable, ethical farming practices that put the health of the land, the animals, and the consumers first. With so much of the beef industry saturated by added hormones, chemicals, and mass production, McLeod Meats is taking a stand for cleaner, healthier beef that supports a more sustainable food system.
“People don’t realize that much of the beef they buy from grocery stores contains chemicals and additives that not only harm the environment but also affect the taste and quality of the beef,” says DiLiberto. “Our mission is to change that by offering naturally raised, chemical-free beef that’s as fresh and flavorful as it is sustainable.”
Why McLeod Meats Stands Out: Quality, Sustainability, and Community
McLeod Meats isn’t just focused on creating a superior product, it’s committed to creating a healthier, more sustainable food system that benefits the community at large. By focusing on small-herd, all-natural farming and offering customizable beef options for restaurant partners, McLeod Meats is reshaping the way people think about beef.
“We don’t mass-produce, and we don’t compromise on quality,” says DiLiberto. “That is also why we are very selective on the restaurant partners we contract with. Our select partners believe what we do. That a symbiotic relationship between the farm and the restaurant will offer the community higher quality more sustainable beef.”
Join the Movement: Farm-to-Plate, Redefined
McLeod Meats is leading the way in redefining what it means to eat farm-to-plate, or as DiLiberto calls it, “Farm-to-grill! Whether you’re a restaurant owner looking to elevate your menu with exclusive, high-quality beef, or a consumer searching for beef that’s both sustainable and delicious, McLeod Meats is here to offer you access to better beef!
