Montana Raised Beef

Swanson’s Mountain View Orchard has been a cornerstone of Montana’s Bitterroot Valley, producing some of the region’s finest apples. Now, we’re proud to expand our commitment to sustainability and quality with a new offering: apple and grass-fed Angus beef.

This program is led by Kendall and Ryan Mouw, two dedicated individuals with a passion for sustainable farming and exceptional flavor, under Mooi Farms. Every step of the process, from pasture to plate, is guided by the values of our orchard and the desire to serve our community with premium, local products.

We believe in doing things the right way—raising cattle humanely, feeding them with care, and producing high-quality beef that families can trust.

For years, our orchard has provided delicious apples to families across Montana, grown with the utmost care and dedication to the land. Now, we’ve extended that care to our Angus steers, raised on lush, orchard-fed pastures and finished with grain for exceptional flavor and marbling.

This is our first season offering locally raised beef, but our commitment to excellence runs deep. Every steer is raised with attention to detail and processed locally, ensuring that every cut of beef you enjoy reflects our passion for quality and sustainability.

• Sustainably Raised: Angus steers graze on orchard grasses and enjoy nutrient-rich apples, promoting healthy and flavorful meat.
• Premium Quality: Grain-finishing enhances marbling and tenderness for an exceptional dining experience.
• Locally Processed: All processing supports local businesses in the Bitterroot Valley.
• Farm to Table: Stock your freezer with beef raised by dedicated local farmers in the heart of Montana.

• Breed: Black & Red Angus
• Feed: Apple and grass-fed, grain-finished for rich marbling
• Processing Date: February 10, 2025
• Pickup/Delivery: Beef will be ready mid-February. Pickup or delivery details will be coordinated closer to the date.
