Fowler & Valley • Michigan-Raised • Grain-Finished • Direct to You • Family Farm
Simple Process
Subscribers Get First Pick
We raise a limited number of cattle each year — by choice, not circumstance. That means we process a set number of boxes each month, and that's all. Subscribers get their orders filled first, before boxes open to one-time purchases. If you want consistent access, the list is the best place to be.
We're the Putt family, and we've been raising cattle in Northern Michigan, just outside Traverse City, for generations. Our cattle roam open pastures, finished on grain for the marbling and flavor you can't find at a grocery store — no hormones, no antibiotics, no shortcuts. When you order from us, you're buying directly from the people who raised it. That means something to us.
Our Farm. Our Story.

What Our Customers Are Saying
Real customers across Northern Michigan and nationwide choose us because our grain-finished beef is superior quality, better value, and more convenient than the grocery store. From Traverse City to beyond, families trust our local Michigan farm for premium beef delivery.
I've been getting the Homestead Family Box for four months and the ribeyes alone are worth it. My husband thought I'd switched to a steakhouse — I hadn't. Knowing it comes from a real Michigan farm, not a feedlot, makes a difference. Monthly delivery means I never have to think about it.
Sarah M., Traverse City
We were skeptical about ordering beef online — that changed the second we opened the first box. Everything was frozen solid, vacuum-sealed tight. Made burgers that weekend and couldn't believe the difference. We subscribed the next day. Haven't bought beef at the store since.
Jake & Carrie R., Frankfort
Grew up on a farm, so I'm not easy to impress. Ordered the Rancher's Choice box and the ribeye was the best steak I've cooked at home — good marbling, held up well over high heat. You can tell these animals were raised right. I'll be ordering again.
Tom D., Ann Arbor
The Beginning
Roots in the Ground
The Putt family planted their first herd on Northern Michigan land they'd worked for years. From day one, no hormones, no antibiotics — just cattle raised the way they believed beef should be.
Going Direct
Neighbors First
The Putts started selling beef boxes directly to families in Benzie and Leelanau County — no middlemen, no markup. Seeing neighbors fill their freezers with beef they'd raised themselves made it clear: direct was the only way.
Certified
Michigan, Meet Fowler Valley
The website launched and beef boxes started shipping from Traverse City to Grand Rapids to Detroit. What started as a local operation was now feeding Michigan families statewide — one box at a time.

Fowler Valley began shipping nationwide — bringing Northern Michigan beef to families across the country. The zip codes changed. The mission didn't: same family, same land, same commitment to beef raised right.
