Roy and Meredith Thompson ranch and farm in north central South Dakota, where their three children, India, Hyde, and Mesa, are happy to “help” any chance they get. For them, raising food is part of a larger calling: to grow it responsibly, according to God’s design, and to be a small part of their customers’ wellness journey.
“We aim to regenerate life in every choice we make.”
- Triple T Brand
THE PHILOSOPHY BEHIND THE PRACTICE
Triple T Brand works from five principles of soil health: limit soil disturbance, keep the soil armored, grow diverse plants, keep living roots in the ground, and integrate animals. In practice that means no-till planting, cover crop mixes of grasses, legumes, and brassicas, and cattle grazed across those fields and then moved on. They never spray the plants their cattle graze. As the soil gets healthier, the plants get more nutrient-dense, and that nutrition passes on to the people who eat the beef.
Beef
Triple T Brand raises 100% grass-fed, grass-finished cattle, with no grain, antibiotics, or added hormones. They plant a specific cover crop blend to finish their animals on, so the finishing diet is something they manage on purpose, not a default.
