Five Marys Nose-to-Tail
How cool is the range of products we can produce and share with you from the animals we raise?! We’ve been focused more than ever on using every resource we have and letting very little go to waste. It’s pretty incredible to step back and see the breadth of usable, nourishing and beautiful products just from one ranching operation!
Ranching with our own livestock (that we’re so proud to raise) from breeding to products and having our hands physically laboring in every part of this cycle means quality control, the best inputs, and the flexibility to go the extra mile.
Building our own USDA harvest and butchery was a big undertaking and requires a ton of extra work, but being able to put the very best products (with a list that just keeps growing!) makes it so worth it!
THING WE PRODUCE FROM OUR RANCH…
PREMIUM QUALITY, CLEAN MEATS
Five Marys livestock including Black Angus cattle, Navajo-Churro sheep and Berkshire hogs spend their whole lives at Five Marys Ranch in Siskiyou County; roaming freely and grazing California grasses. They spend their days on our green pastures and hills rich in minerals with plenty of sunshine and fresh Northern California mountain air. Our ranching methods and beliefs help to preserve and protect the land and respect the animals from birth through processing.
Specially packaged for shipping, Five Marys Meats can be shipped anywhere within the continental United States direct to your doorstep. Meats can be purchased individually by-the-cut of in weekly special combination boxes. You can experience the difference in the taste of our beef, pork and lamb.
LUXURIOUS SHEEP PELTS
Our Five Marys hand-tanned sheep pelts are a beautiful and cozy addition to any home. We love to use them on the back of a chair or couch, an ottoman, in a nursery (babies sleep extra well on them!), in a stroller or wheelchair (they regulate body temp!) or on an office or dining room chair.
Our gorgeous Navajo-Churro Heritage sheep have such beautiful and unique pelts. They are saved after harvesting (where they would otherwise go to a landfill) and we work hard to tan them all-naturally to honor the animal and use all of the parts after harvesting that we can. Our custom made sheepskin pelts are of the finest craftsmanship. We sort and clean them here on the ranch, then they travel to Oregon for salting and all-naturally tanning by a skilled craftsman.
They are hard for us to part with, but we love seeing photos of them in our customers’ homes! These pelts are supple and soft suede on the back side and incredible long lambs wool on the other. Each has an M5 brand on the back. They can be hand-washed and clean up easily - just don’t use high heat or they turn to felt!
RAW PET FOOD
Five Marys has so many options for pet food that you’re pets at home will LOVE! Of course, animals have unique nutritional requirements, so as always, consult your vetrinatrian before adding raw food products to their diet.
We’ve got 100% beef blend pucks, a lamb pet blend, beef marrow bones, knuckle bones, and a pet beef shank.
LIVER & ORGAN SUPPLEMENTS
We’re currently working on liver & organ supplements from our clean American beef. They will come in capsule form and they are a really great source of vitamin A, which is great for skin health, thyroid, eye health, and enhances immunity among other metabolic functions.
MOISTURIZING TALLOW SKINCARE
There is a major surge in skincare hype online right now… but teens especially are getting very into it (seems like younger and younger these days!) A lot of popular skincare brands that are gaining popularity with teens have ingredients like retinol in them that they just simply don’t need yet. I was inspired to create some skincare for the girls that is really good for them, but doesn’t have a lot of ingredients… just pure and simple stuff.
Five Marys all-natural tallow cream is a skincare super power that’s been used for centuries! The main ingredient is our well-raised, clean, nutrient-rich, nourishing, anti-microbial tallow! This amazing ingredient is ‘bioavailable’ since it’s an animal protein and not from plants, making it super compatible with our skin’s natural structure.
COOKING TALLOW & LARD
Five Marys pork fat is perfect for cooking or rendering down to make lard. Lard health benefits include raising levels of good cholesterol. Dietary fats help fat-soluble vitamins to become absorbed into the body… promoting brain functioning, memory, mood control, and the manufacturing of hormones.
NOURISHING BONE BROTH
Made with exclusively M5 beef bones and hearty vegetables, Five Marys dry-aged beef bone broth is nutrient dense, gelatin-rich and flavorful. Sip to enjoy or include it in your favorite recipes for added proteins.
SNACKABLE BEEF JERKY STICKS
Our all-beef, all-natural Five Marys snack sticks are the PERFECT thing to throw in the car for a roadtrip snack, or your bag for protein throughout the day. All six of our flavors are made in-house at our Five Marys Custom Co. Butchery.
• Sweet Honey
• Brian’s Blend
• Classic Pepperoni
• Original BBQ
• Habanero Lime
• Hot Jalapeño
