Our goal here at MJ Ranch is to produce the highest quality grass-fed beef available anywhere and give utmost care to the land God has given us to use.  Our farm is certified by A Greener World for 100% Grass-fed/Grass finished Beef. The certification guarantees food products come from animals fed a 100% grass and forage diet, raised outdoors on pasture or range and managed according to the highest welfare and environmental standards on an independent farm. 

​Our cattle are born and raised on our family owned and operated 670-acre Ranch just outside of Lawrence, Kansas. We take pride in raising only authentic grass-fed/grass-finished beef; without using hormones, antibiotics, or using pesticides/herbicides on our pastures. Three generations of Williams live on the ranch and manage the family herd and operations. Our cattle are rotated frequently during the spring, summer, and fall in lush green pastures simply by calling them. Our own high quality brome, alfalfa, and clover hay is rolled out in the pastures for the cattle in the winter months. Ranch angus beef is certified by A Greener World as being 100% GRASS-FED. It is the grass, without any grain, that our cattle dine on that makes this the healthiest beef you can eat.

Pinwheel Farm began as a dream — first the fantasy of a tiny cabin in the woods, raising sheep and spinning yarn…various revisions over the years…then much later a roughly sketched business plan for a 20 acre vegetable farm as a class project.
 
We supply non-irrigated vegetables and other horticultural crops, forage-fed lamb meat, poultry and wool products to our community through on-farm sales, the Downtown Lawrence Farmers’ Market, and locally owned restaurants.
