Osteen, Florida · One farm · Raw
Raw beef and pastured chicken for dogs, made and sold by Freedom Range Farms. Grass-fed, grass-finished, and no antibiotics or hormones — either animal, ever.
How it works
The food
Muscle · organ · fat · ground bone
Labeled for intermittent or supplemental feeding only. Guaranteed analysis is printed on every lot.
Raw meaty bone · whole or ground
Feed raw only — never cooked. Cooking makes poultry bone brittle and splintery. Size the neck to the dog.

Single source
A working family farm based in Osteen, Florida, running grass-fed cattle alongside pastured pork, pastured chickens, laying hens and dairy goats. It sells direct — a farm store, quarter cow shares, and its own processing station on the Osteen site.
The cattle themselves are not in Osteen. They are raised about an hour north, out in open country where the farm has the acreage to run small groups on grass — and that is also where they are harvested. A mobile butcher drives out to the herd and works on the ground the animal grazed. The quarters then come back to Osteen to be cut, blended, portioned and frozen.
That order matters more than it sounds. Conventional slaughter means loading a live animal onto a truck and hauling it to a plant, which is the most stressful hour of its life. Here the truck comes to the animal, and nothing travels until it is already meat.
Pasture to Paw is the online store that brings it to your door.
A commodity supply chain can't tell you which animal. This one can — one farm, one herd, one butcher who works on the pasture, and a lot number on your label that goes back to a single animal.
Delivery
Our radius is limited by how long a frozen box stays frozen in a car. We would rather say no than send you a thawed box.
Orlando, Sorrento, Mount Dora and points west: not yet. Tell us where you are and we'll open the next zone where enough dogs are waiting.
Feeding & handling
Store at 0°F. Thaw one portion at a time in the refrigerator, never at room temperature. Use within 3 days of thawing. Don't refreeze.
Hands, bowls, counters, utensils — hot soapy water after every meal. Same rules you'd use for raw chicken in your own kitchen.
If anyone in the home is pregnant, elderly, an infant, or immunocompromised — or if your dog is — talk to your veterinarian before feeding any raw diet.
Swap in about a quarter of the new food for a few days, then half, then all of it over a week or two. Going all at once is the usual cause of a bad first week.
This is a meat, organ and bone blend — it is not formulated to meet a complete nutrient profile and is not intended as a sole diet. Feed it as part of a diet your veterinarian has signed off on.
Questions
No, and the gap is where most beef marketing lives. Nearly all cattle eat grass for the first year; "grass-fed" alone doesn't rule out a grain finishing period in a feedlot at the end, which is where most of the weight goes on. Grass-finished means it never happened. This beef is both — in the farm's words, "Grass fed, grass finished… Pure beef!" No grain finishing period at all.
One farm, one herd, one flock — but not all in one place. The cattle are raised out in open country about an hour north of Osteen, where there is room to run them on grass. The butcher drives to them, and only the finished quarters travel, back to the farm's own processing station in Osteen to be cut, blended, portioned and frozen.
The birds are pastured on the same operation, unvaccinated and never fed GMO grain.
No. The farm describes this herd as "unvaccinated", against a conventional herd it calls "multi vaccinated." That is the farm's own characterisation of the difference, and it's one of the reasons the herd is kept small.
Neither, ever — not routine, not in feed, and no implants or growth promoters. In place of routine antibiotics the farm uses "probiotics for stimulated immune system." An animal that gets sick still gets treated; what doesn't happen is dosing a whole healthy herd as a matter of course.
They're run in "small groups (fewer than 100)" — the farm's comparison point is "large confinement (10,000+)." That's part of why the cattle are up north rather than on the Osteen site: it's where the acreage is.
At harvest the animals are hand eviscerated, with no chlorine baths. The mobile butcher comes to the pasture, so there's no live haul to a plant at the end.
Because a whole raw meaty bone is the one thing a dog's teeth are actually built for, and it's the simplest product we sell — one ingredient, one bird, no blend and no formulation to argue about. The beef is the meal; the neck is the work.
They come from the same farm's pastured, unvaccinated birds, raised on grass without GMO feed. And because they travel in a box that's already going out, adding them to a beef order costs nothing extra in delivery.
Raw meat can carry Salmonella and Listeria, for dogs and for the humans handling the bowl. We're not going to pretend otherwise — that's why the handling section above is written plainly instead of buried in a footer.
What we control: a single-farm supply traceable to a lot, cold chain from the farm to your door, no co-mingling. What you control: cold storage, clean surfaces, and a conversation with your vet.
No. Frozen raw meat needs an insulated box, dry ice and a one-to-two day service, and even then it can arrive soft. At small order sizes the shipping costs as much as the food. We deliver locally, frozen, in under an hour — or we don't sell to you yet.
We're not going to tell you that. Chewing a raw neck is mechanically abrasive and dogs plainly enjoy the work — that's a description of what happens, not a promise about periodontal disease. Ask your veterinarian.
Yes, and you should if you're near Osteen — Freedom Range Farms has a store and sells beef, pork, chicken, eggs, raw milk and quarter cow shares. What we add is the part the farm doesn't do: a consistent blend, portioning and labeling, a subscription so you never run out, and delivery to your door.
