Our story
A direct line from the ranch to your kitchen.
The Farm To You is a members-only platform built on a simple idea: the best beef and chicken in America come from independent family ranches and farms that don't have a shelf in your grocery store. We make it possible for those partners to sell directly to the people who cook their meat, on their schedule, raised and delivered the honest way.
Why we started
Built by people who care where their meat comes from.
The American grocery system has become extraordinarily good at scale, and extraordinarily bad at flavor, traceability, and supporting the ranchers doing the actual raising. We watched hard-working family ranches get squeezed by middlemen while shoppers had no real way to know where their meat came from.
So we built a better bridge. The Farm To You brings vetted American ranchers and farmers together in one trusted marketplace, gives them a storefront as honest as their product, and delivers 100% American-raised beef and chicken straight to our members, frozen at the peak of freshness, shipped cold-chain, never imported.
Every membership keeps a family ranch in business and a real cut of premium meat in your freezer. That's the whole idea, and we're just getting started.
Why we exist
Real ranchers. Real farmers. Real meat.
We believe ranchers and farmers deserve a digital storefront as elegant as their product is honest, and that members deserve to know exactly whose hands raised, packed, and shipped their beef or chicken. Everything on The Farm To You is 100% American-raised, with no imports, no mystery, and no supermarket middleman.
Meet the founders
The two of us, behind every box.
The Farm To You was started by two people who care deeply about American family ranching — and about getting honest, traceable meat into your kitchen.
Colton Elliott
Co-Founder
Colton co-founded The Farm To You out of frustration with corporate control of our meat supply and the lack of transparency about where our food comes from. He believed families deserved better access to quality, American-raised meat and the ability to know exactly who was raising the food they put on their tables. As he learned more about the food system, one thing became clear: it was becoming harder for consumers to know what they were buying and where it came from, while the American ranchers doing things the right way weren't always getting the recognition or support they deserved. Colton wanted to create a better connection between the people raising our food and the families buying it. That vision became The Farm To You. By building relationships with ranchers and working directly with trusted American producers, Colton set out to make high-quality meat more accessible while bringing transparency and trust back into the process. Every farm and ranch represented is chosen with care, helping customers feel confident about the food they're bringing home. For Colton, this is about more than selling meat. It's about standing behind American agriculture, supporting the people who work hard to raise food the right way, and building a food system where families know where their food comes from and can feel good about what they're feeding the people they love.
Frank Dagenhardt III
Co-Founder
I co-founded The Farm To You because I got tired of guessing what was actually in the meat I was feeding my family. After moving from Michigan to Florida, I spent a lot of time on the road — walking pastures, talking with ranchers, and standing in processing facilities. I wanted straight answers about how the animals were raised, what they ate, and how they were treated. Not the version on the package. The real one. What I kept seeing was solid producers getting squeezed out of the system, and families with almost no way to know what they were really buying. So Colton and I built something that cuts through that. Every box comes from farms and ranches we've actually spent time with, so the transparency I was looking for is just built in. This is more than a brand to me. It's a way to back the people who still raise food the right way.
