Ranch Raised on Sauvie Island
Where beef is raised on island time.
We are The Schillereff Family and our passion is raising local pastured meats for Northwest families like ours. We believe the best beef comes from cattle grown naturally, so we choose to raise our beef on “island time” - free from routine antibiotics, hormones and animal bi-products. Our family raises cattle from birth to butcher, growing all our own feeds and implementing low stress management. These practices foster a humane and calm environment that allow our animals to grow naturally on beautiful island pastures.
A cut for everyone!
We sell quarters, halves and wholes with custom processing done by The Meating Place in Hillsboro. By purchasing a harvest share, you can choose between grass or homegrown grain finished and select all of your cut and wrap instructions. Once your beef is packaged as you’ve requested, it will be ready for pickup at The Meating Place, conveniently located off of West Union and Cornelius Pass Road.
Looking for individual cuts, curated beef boxes or ground beef bundles? We have partnered with our family over at Topaz Farm and are excited to announce you can now purchase our meats conveniently through their market. Click here to purchase.
Our Environmental Stewardship
Beef raised in cohesion with nature!
Our farm works closely with local wildlife and ecological management groups to graze our island pastures in a fashion that fosters wild bird habitat, controls runoff, reduces bank erosion and supports the continued growth and conservation of wild meadow lands. We believe that grazing cattle in cohesion with native species not only supports the sustainability of our lands, but produces a beef product that is healthy, wholesome and most important- tasty. Our beef cattle are the greatest converters of solar energy, turning grasses we cannot digest into rich proteins both delicious and nutritious. Oak Island Farms beef is good for you and the planet!
