Loved Everything
You can really taste the difference in Sunset Ridge Beef. There is just no comparison. I was so impressed with the quality that I had some beautiful steaks shipped to my boss on Long Island (because I like him, not for brownie points). He was blown away and raved about how delicious everything was. You really have to try for yourself. You will see what I mean and you won't be disappointed!

A Local Gem for Premium Meat
I discovered Sunset Ridge Beef because it’s local to my home in Morris, New York, and it has truly set a new standard for quality. The meat’s color, texture (both raw and cooked), and taste are unmatched – it’s simply the best I’ve ever had. There’s a distinct difference in quality compared to any other beef I’ve tried, and the prices are extremely reasonable, especially considering the incredible standard. Whenever I serve it to guests, they’re always so impressed that they end up purchasing their own to take home or even placing shipping orders! I can’t recommend Sunset Ridge Beef enough – it’s a must-try for anyone who values exceptional meat.
