Vander 100% American Wagyu Ground Beef 1 lb. Frozen

Vander Farmers is a love story through and through. Marjolein and Mario grew up in neighboring small towns just less than 20 minutes outside of Amsterdam. Both fond of the tranquility and the freeing life on a farm, the newly-wed came to the Midwest to realize their American Dream in 2001. 

 In 2016, Marjolein set out on a mission to find the best wagyu beef for Mario as a Christmas gift. After weeks of searching, it became apparent to Marjolein that, like her, many meat connoisseurs in the Midwest are not able to source high quality wagyu in the region with the level of transparency that she expects from her food source. She told Mario about her unfulfilled mission and the challenges she faced in the process, he replied, “Well, I guess we’ll just have to raise it ourselves.”

Coincidentally, we learned that farmers in Japan began crossbreeding Japanese Black Cattle, what you would consider pure blood wagyu, with Holsteins, a breed of dairy cattle that originated in the Dutch provinces of North Holland and Friesland. The Japanese farmers realized this crossbreeding method produces premium quality wagyu beef that is sweeter in flavor and comes with extra marbling at a much more accessible price.
