About Our Farm: The Raney Family of Polk County

A generational cow-calf operation raising grass-fed, grain-finished beef in Lakeland, Florida, for our neighbors’ tables.

Our Story

Named for the Ranch Where Our Family Comes Together

The Raney family runs a generational cow-calf operation, and we saw a real need for local, quality beef in Polk County. We started by selling wholes and halves to neighbors and friends.

As demand for local beef grew, we began supplying local restaurants and selling directly to families. That growth became Pine Lake Beef Company.

The name comes from Pine Lake, one of our family’s ranches. It’s where we gather to relax, fish and spend time together, and it’s the same care we put into every cut we sell.

Our family appreciates the opportunity to supply yours with quality homegrown beef.
