South Carolina Beef: From Our Ranchers to Your Schools

WELCOME TO THE

South Carolina Beef Recipe Collection At the heart of South Carolina’s agricultural tradition are the dedicated cattle ranchers who provide high-quality, nutritious beef to communities across the state. By incorporating locally sourced SC beef into school meals, we not only nourish our students with fresh, flavorful food but also strengthen our local economy and support the hardworking families behind each ranch. Local beef is packed with essential nutrients like protein, iron, and vitamins that fuel students’ growth and learning. Sourcing beef locally ensures that meals served in schools are fresher, more sustainable, and directly contribute to reducing the environmental impact of long- distance food transport. When schools choose local SC beef, they’re making a commitment to invest in the community, ensuring that the next generation has access to nutritious meals while preserving the future of South Carolina’s family-owned cattle ranches. Together, we can build a healthier, more connected future for our students and our state.
