Cows

Aventure Farm beef on the hoof

The beef in Charley's Chili comes from 100% organically raised Virginia cattle - a Salers/Angus cross which provides the secret ingredient to each delicious bowl. At Adventure Farm these cows eat Piedmont bluegrass, drink fresh spring water and they don't pump 'em full of steroids or antibiotics. They're finished on 6 weeks of grain to marbleize the meat and give it the delicious flavor that Adventure Farm beef is known for. They live a good life and are looked after with care and steady attention. The life of a cow is pretty mundane and consists mostly of stretching their neck to eat grass (or hay in the winter) and drink from a trough or stream. They can't be ridden, learn tricks, swim or do much of anything but moo and poop (which they do pretty well). I respect anyone who abstains from eating beef weather it be for ethical or medical reason or just a matter of taste, but if there ever was an animal meant to be eaten a cow would be it. So at Charley's Chili we do.
