What American Farmers Network does

American Farmers Network (legal entity Two Good Sons, Inc.) is a privately held, vertically integrated supplier of premium grass-fed, grass-finished, and certified organic beef, founded in 2004 and headquartered at 500 E Pike Street, Seattle, Washington. The company sources cattle from a network of over 2,000 independently owned US family farms primarily located in Washington, Oregon, Montana, and Colorado, and processes them at two recently acquired USDA-certified facilities: Intermountain Packing in Idaho Falls, Idaho (acquired July 2025) and Open Range Beef in Gordon, Nebraska (acquired September 2025). Together these facilities employ 500+ workers and handle harvesting, fabrication, further processing, and national distribution under AFN's direct control. The product portfolio spans primals, sub-primals, case-ready steaks, bricks, burgers, and ground beef, organized under Organic and Natural sub-brands, and is differentiated by 100% domestic (born, raised, and processed) Angus sourcing with no antibiotics or added growth hormones, Certified Humane certification, and partial Non-GMO Project Verification achieved via a proprietary protocol of nearly 100 prohibited feed ingredients and semi-annual soil testing.

AFN serves four primary customer segments through a B2B, sales-led go-to-market model: grocery retail (case-ready programs and grab-and-go), foodservice (restaurants and hospitality), institutional (corporate cafeterias), and e-commerce (direct-to-consumer and partner storefronts). Distribution is domestic only, with products available in stores, restaurants, and corporate cafeterias nationwide, and the company supports a partner login portal for current and prospective business partners. Marketing is content-driven via the "Meat Matters" blog, white papers on regenerative agriculture and certification standards, an email newsletter, and a LinkedIn presence. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The company is led by founder Sanin Mirvic (Founder, Chairman, CEO), has no disclosed institutional investors or funding rounds, and operates as a privately controlled, bootstrapped business that has scaled primarily through acquisitions of processing capacity rather than external capital.
