Family Roots Farm
A family that started raising better beef for its own table, then realized going back to its ranching roots could feed a lot of other families too.

Family Roots Farm began the way a lot of good things do, with a family wanting better food on its own table. Mark and Annette Smith started the farm to raise quality beef for their family, and as the idea grew they realized that going back to their ranching and cattle raising roots could feed a lot of other families too.
The Smiths are fourth generation farmers and ranchers in the Eloy area, so this is home and the roots run deep. Quality American Wagyu became the family focus in late 2021, and the original herd came home to Eloy in December 2022. The herd has grown steadily since, built with careful breeding, including their full blood Wagyu bull Mi Torito Michitani Bond.
This is a full circle operation. The cattle eat a diet grown on the family's own crops: alfalfa, corn, barley, bermuda, triticale and oats. Supplements and minerals are local, the processing is local and USDA inspected, and the beef carries no hormones. The manure and straw the herd produces is being composted back onto the family's crops, regenerating the same ground the cattle are fed from.
What they raise
- Individual American Wagyu cuts
- Quarter, half and whole beef
- Gift bundles and boxes
- Local Arizona delivery

Registered American Beef Producer. We confirmed the operation is an American family farm or ranch selling beef it raised itself before we listed it. That is our review of the operation, not a USDA certification. See what we check.

Where the ranch is.
Eloy, Arizona. No street address is published for any producer on this site, because none was published by the ranches and none was collected. The marker is the town.
Drag to pan, scroll or pinch to zoom, or select a state. With the map focused, the arrow keys pan and the plus and minus keys zoom. Every state outline and every ranch marker is reachable by keyboard, and every ranch on the map is also in the list below, so no producer is reachable only through the map. A member's marker is that ranch's membership badge, drawn larger at the higher levels. A free Registered Producer is a black dot on its own state, and an unclaimed Unregistered Producer record is a gray dot, which opens an invitation to the owner to claim the profile rather than a page.
