Welcome to Bravo Steaks®

We are John and Emily Barnes, the farmers behind Bravo Steaks®. We are the caretakers of our beef cattle, pastured Berkshire pigs, and locally raised lamb on our farm located in Rockingham County, NC, just 15-20 miles north of Greensboro.

Every animal on our farm is raised with intention, diligence, and respect. Our years of livestock experience have taught us that the small details matter, and we believe that attention to detail is what truly sets us apart.

We taste the difference in our dry-aged beef, our heritage Berkshire pork, and our delicious local lamb. More importantly, we hope you can too. Every pound we offer reflects years of planning, breeding, learning, and commitment to doing things the right way.

We are proud to bring premium dry-aged beef, Berkshire pork, and local lamb to your family’s table where it was raised locally by farmers you know.

KNOW YOUR FARMERS

Why our customers choose Bravo Steaks®

  • We provide high quality beef, pork, and lamb from our farm to you.

  • Our beef cattle, Berkshire pigs, and sheep are raised in the beautiful rolling hills of the central North Carolina. Their whole life is spent on pasture, and we care for our livestock and the land year-round.

  • None of our beef cattle, pigs, or sheep are administered hormones for growth promotion.

  • Our beef is dry aged for 21 days for improved tenderness and a beef flavor profile that rivals the finest steakhouses.

  • Our pork is from 100% Berkshire hogs, a heritage breed with a longstanding reputation for delicious pork.

  • >70% of lamb in US grocery stores and restaurants is shipped in from overseas… but not our lamb! All our our sheep are raised right here on Carolina pasture, so you know exactly where your food comes from.

  • We share the story of our farm with you. Follow along on instagram @emilyatbravo .

  • We are not a multi-state corporation or a multi-generational operation. We are a young married couple who are first generation farmers, and we have a self-propelled fire for raising healthy livestock and seeing our farm succeed.

We raise heritage breed Berkshire pigs outdoors.

We work to bring you premium quality meat and the accompanying story behind it.

We care for our livestock year-round. There are no shortcuts, and we’re committed to providing high quality care their whole life.

We raise livestock with respect from birth to harvest.

Every day on the farm is an adventure.

We have lived in several locations within the Carolinas, including the greater Charlotte area, eastern NC, and now the upper Piedmont. We cherish all of the regional nuances and culture. Emily is originally from Guilford County, and John is from Wilson County. We currently operate two farms in Rockingham County — we own a farm in Summerfield and we rent a farm in Reidsville.
