GILMAN, WIS. — If you are looking to buy natural beef tasty enough to win top honors in a national competition and if you’re looking to buy direct from the farm, SavorWisconsin.com is the place to browse. Highlighted this month is Wisconsin beef farmer Beverly Thompson of Futility Farms, Gilman, Wis. who recently won the gold for her T-bone steaks at the first Annual Gallo Family Vineyards Gold Medal Awards for outstanding achievement in specialty food production.
“I am thrilled to have the quality of my beef recognized nationally, and to be a part of SavorWisconsin.com,” said Thompson.
Thompson began her beef operation in 2001, after purchasing an Amish farm in Taylor County. She raises dairy steers on pasture year round without added hormones or implants. No animal by-products are used.
“I strive to provide tender, tasty beef raised in a comfortable, humane environment,” she said.
“I am extremely pleased and proud of Bev and Futility Farms,” said Rod Nilsestuen, secretary of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection. “She represents the ingenuity that is Wisconsin’s greatest asset – finding a niche market, producing a quality product, and connecting with the consumer.”
Thompson is just one of more than a thousand Wisconsin farmers and agricultural-related businesses listed on SavorWisconsin.com, an easy-to-search online directory connecting consumers with their favorite Wisconsin products.
“I especially enjoy getting to know my customers,” said Thompson. “SavorWisconsin has been a real door-opener for a small farmer like me.”
