Fueling Healthy Minds & Bodies, Together

Beef is more than tasty, it’s a powerhouse of nutrients. One single 3-ounce cooked serving of beef delivers about 25 grams of high-quality protein, along with key vitamins and minerals like iron, zinc, and B vitamins. This nutrient combo can support growing bodies, active lifestyles, immune health, and cognitive development across all ages. 

That’s why our work connects California beef farmers and ranchers with schools, educators, and families. We are helping to make sure students understand where their food comes from and how it can help them grow, learn, and thrive. 

Whether you serve school meals, teach in a classroom, cook at home, or raise beef on the ranch, you have a role in this effort. By working together, we can help students build healthy eating habits, understand where their food comes from, and see how beef fits into a balanced plate with fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and dairy.
