      The culture, tradition, and story of our industry should be affixed alongside that of our food. A passion to help consumers reconnect with their food source is what drives DX Beef. Consumers have the opportunity to be as connected to their food source as desired with DX Beef's direct-to-consumer grass fed beef sales. We hope to offer an insight in where our beef is raised, who has cared for the animals, how our beef gets from pasture to plate, and the Lakota culture that carries DX Beef through every step of the process.
