About Rare Earth Farms LLC

Karl Hudson and Mann Mullen have both raised all-natural Angus and Angus crosses for over twenty years on their respective farms in Wake and Franklin Counties, NC. In 2008 they formed Rare Earth Farms, LLC to market their all natural, grass-fed, grass-finshed cattle to the community. Rare Earth Farms beef has no added hormones, antibiotics or steroids.In addition to beef, Rare Earth Farms also raises AWA pork. Karl feels that the biggest challenge is educating the customer but has been pleased with the growing awareness. “Over the past few years we have been really happy with the customer response. People are giving more thought to what they put into their body,” says Hudson. Rare Earth Farms sells directly to consumers and restaurants, and will begin selling at select grocery stores in the coming months. Rare Earth Farms uses rotational grazing to provide quality forage, and low-stress handling techniques – Karl says he has some of the friendliest cows around. “We take people out to see the cows, and they just come right up to you.” On becoming Animal Welfare Approved, Karl says, “It seemed like a natural fit.” He went on to say, “We are really happy about being associated with Animal Welfare Approved.”
