About Vintage Beef by Gress Family Farms
Vintage Beef is proudly raised by the Gress family, Aaron and Debbie and their sons (Dawson, Peyton, and Teagen) on their family farm located in western Iowa. Aaron and Debbie are 4th generation farmers who wanted to expand and diversify their farm so their boys have the opportunity for a future in agriculture. Their passion for farming is reflected in their high quality products.
For over 20 years we have been working side by side on their farm, along with our three boys, raising cattle, growing corn, soybeans, and hay. Several years ago we found our freezer empty and had to purchase meat at the local grocery store. It had been years since we had gotten away from eating our home raised beef. We realized the quality and taste of our dry-aged beef was exceptional and wanted to share it with others.
Our commitment to humanely raising a superior product sets our beef apart. We use superior genetics in our angus-limosin breed that gives excellent marbling along with extremely high yielding animals so you get the most for your money, especially with the purchase of our freezer beef available in quarter, half, and whole beefs.
We also work closely with our nutritionist to develop top quality rations along with additional vitamins and kelp meals which support the cattles' immune system, ensuring optimal health. They are also fed with feed raised right here on our farm so we know what goes into them from the day we calf them to the day they are harvested.
Our calves are hand fed and in small groups which gives them a stress free environment which improves and protects the quality of meat. Aaron hand picks the animals to be sent for harvest when they are perfectly finished, ensuring the best product possible. There are no added hormones or antibiotics in our beef so you can rest assured it is a great choice when it comes to feeding your family.
We are excited to share the same high-quality home raised beef with our customers that we have enjoyed for years! Customize an order to fit your family's needs with individual cuts, one of our bundles or freezer beef available in 1/8, 1/4, 1/2 or whole beefs, We offer free local delivery within a 30 mile radius, farm pickup, and nationwide shipping.
We pride ourselves on providing our customers premium beef along with unmatched customer service. Meeting new people and taking care of each individuals unique needs is something we enjoy.
When we aren't working, we enjoy going to the boys' activities, traveling, volunteering at our church and coaching little boys' basketball.

Farm-Fresh Beef Roasts and BBQ Delivered to Your Door
ChopLocal’s roasts and BBQ cuts come directly from trusted local farmers and butchers. From brisket and short ribs to prime rib, chuck roast, and arm roast, these hearty cuts are perfect for smoking, braising, or roasting for a flavorful, family-style meal. Order online and have them shipped straight to your door.
How to Cook Beef Roasts
The most popular way to prepare a beef roast is to oven-roast or braise it to your desired doneness.
Start by coating the roast generously with your favorite rub for the best flavor. Whether you prefer smoky, savory, or herb-forward, feel free to get creative with your seasoning.
Always use a meat thermometer to monitor internal temperature throughout the cooking process. Once done, allow the roast to rest for 10–15 minutes before slicing. This helps lock in juices and enhances tenderness.
Cooking times will vary based on the size and whether your roast is bone-in or boneless.
How to Pick the Perfect Beef Roast
Choosing the right roast depends on your budget, cooking method, and occasion:
-
Tenderloin Roast – The most tender and often the most expensive roast. Easy to carve and great for special occasions.
-
Rib or Strip Roasts (Prime Rib) – Rich in flavor and perfect for holidays or feeding a crowd.
-
Chuck Roasts – Budget-friendly and best when cooked low and slow for fork-tender, flavorful results.
Types of Beef Roasts
Beef Arm Roast
A budget-friendly cut that shines when slow-cooked with vegetables. Comes from the chuck and is also known as the "Beef Clod Heart" or "Beef Shoulder Center."
Chuck Eye Roll
Cut from the chuck primal, chuck rolls are well-marbled and perfect for fall-apart shredded beef. Best seasoned simply and cooked low and slow.
Eye of Round Roast
Lean and affordable, this roast is great for everyday meals. It benefits from marinades or rubs and is best roasted or braised, then sliced thin across the grain.
Beef Rump Roast
Also called the "Bottom Round Rump Roast," this lean cut is great for crockpot meals with carrots and potatoes. Affordable and family-friendly.
Sirloin Tip Roast
Known as the “Knuckle” or “Round Tip Roast,” this cut is lean and inexpensive. It performs well when roasted or smoked and sliced thin for sandwiches.
Tri-Tip Roast
Also known as the "Santa Maria Roast" or "Bottom Sirloin," this triangular cut is tender, flavorful, and perfect for grilling, tacos, or carving stations.
Brisket
Cut from the breast, brisket is ideal for smoking. Apply a generous rub, cook low and slow to 203–205°F, and let rest before slicing.
-
Brisket Point – Juicier, fattier, and ideal for burnt ends.
-
Brisket Flat – Leaner, great for slicing or shredding.
Picanha / Coulotte Roast
Also called “Top Sirloin Cap,” this cut is full of flavor thanks to a generous fat cap. Roast or grill low and slow, then slice against the grain.
Prime Rib / Standing Rib Roast
This classic holiday roast is rich, juicy, and impressive. Roast bone-in or boneless with seasoning and let it rest before serving.
