Grama Grass & Livestock

What Grama Grass & Livestock does

Grama Grass & Livestock is a regenerative meat company founded in March 2020 by Andy Breiter and based in Longmont, Colorado. The company operates an asset-light model: rather than owning land, it partners with public agencies (City of Boulder Open Space & Mountain Parks, Louisville Parks & Recreation, Boulder County Office of Sustainability) and private landowners to graze cattle across approximately 479 acres annually. Its core practice is management-intensive rotational grazing that emulates historic bison migration patterns, moving cattle at least once daily to fresh forage with extended pasture rest periods, which the company reports improves soil health, sequesters carbon, suppresses invasive species, and reduces wildfire fuel loads in wildland-urban interface zones. As of its fifth year of operation the business oversees 200+ cattle, maintains a herd of roughly 90 animals at any given time, and produces approximately 85,000 pounds of grass-finished beef annually.

The commercial offering spans whole animal shares (1/8 to whole cow at $11.75-$13.00/lb), themed bulk boxes (Grill Box, Braise & Stew Box, Butcher Cuts Steak Box, Premium Steak Sampler, Grill & Smoke Box), individual cuts across all beef primals plus organs, bones, and tallow, and adjacent product lines including pastured Freedom Ranger chickens and pet treats. Distribution is conducted through a hybrid go-to-market: direct-to-consumer e-commerce with farm pickup at the Longmont HQ and local delivery to select Boulder/Longmont/Denver zip codes; wholesale to over 20 restaurants, food service operations, and retailers across the Boulder/Denver corridor; seasonal farmers market presence at the Boulder County Farmers Market and City Park Farmers Market; and CSA-style subscription bundles. Pricing, customer acquisition, and brand-building emphasize transparency of farming methods and community impact rather than mass-market promotion.

The company reinvests in food access by donating 8,500-9,200 lbs of regenerative beef annually to anti-hunger nonprofits including Metro Caring, EFAA, and Longmont Food Rescue, and convenes the Foodshed Partnership coalition in Boulder County. It employs five people, operates without disclosed institutional investment, and closed its first documented funding round of $312,500 on 2026-03-11. Customer concentration is diversified across individual DTC buyers, the wholesale restaurant channel, food pantry recipients (non-revenue), and partner agencies.
