Why Buy From Us
Our animals are born and raised on our farm, and our family is dedicated to providing them with a stress-free and happy life. For our animals to stay healthy, we must provide natural, biodynamic soils that create nutritious grasses. We are a grass-finished farm because animals are designed to forage and be completely sustained on a green pasture diet. By grazing, our animals keep the soil fertile returning native minerals and nutrients to the earth. Our commitment and dedication is second to none. We live our lives to fulfill the task that God has put us in charge of.
Our animals have lived their entire life on the farm that they were born in, they’ve been trailing chemical free pastures that haven’t been treated with any sort of chemicals for over 5 years, and raised in family units the way God intended them to be raised. We can verify the history of the meats you’re eating and nourishing your body with and we follow mother nature's system of raising our animals.
Science has shown that pasture raised and finished meat is higher in four elements essential to a healthy human diet: it is lower in fat, calories, higher in Omega-3 fatty acids (the good fats), high in vitamin E and conjugated linoleic acid (fatty acid that reduces cardiovascular disease, fight carcinogens, and have anti-cancerous properties). Many animals are not designed to eat grain, which is usually force-fed to animals raised in feedlots for a mass produced food system. We are constantly working on improving our soil and our farm so that we can provide quality meat.
In 2009, Fernando and Margarita Mendez turned their lifelong dream into reality when they invested their life savings into a 900-acre farm in Crisp County, Georgia. They named it Marview Farms—a tribute to Margarita and the breathtaking views they enjoy each day.
From the very beginning, their mission was simple: raise healthy animals the way nature intended. Over the years, they carefully grew their herds and in 2013 proudly became a 100% grass-fed, grass-finished livestock farm. Using rotational grazing, Marview operates completely free of hormones, antibiotics, immune-altering vaccinations, harmful steroids, and insecticides. Their animals roam freely, living as nature designed.
In 2023, Marview Farms took another big step forward by opening an on-site processing facility, ensuring the highest standards of quality and transparency from pasture to plate. By 2025, the farm’s soils were officially certified organic, further strengthening their commitment to sustainability and healthy farming practices.
Marview has been honored twice with the Innovator of the Year Award at Crisp County’s annual Farmer’s Appreciation Banquet and proudly holds several certifications, including:
- American Grassfed Association Certification
- Georgia Grown Certification
- USDA Organic Certification
Today, Marview Farms raises only grass-fed, grass-finished beef, goat, and lamb, along with pastured pork, poultry, and eggs. Every cut of meat comes from animals born, raised, finished, and processed right here on the farm—so you know exactly where your food comes from.
At Marview, our promise is simple: happier animals, healthier food, and a better way of farming.
