Golden Tulip Farms

Our Story

Meet Roger and Joni Masselink, otherwise known as the farmer and his wife. They are third generation Michigan farmers and have five children. Their grandparents immigrated to the "land of opportunity" from the Netherlands in 1928, bringing with them a long line of farmers tracing back generations. The farmer and his wife cherish their farming heritage and raising quality American Wagyu cattle is a lifestyle they have been taught and believe in. The farmer and his family have embraced their ancestors' roots and strong work ethic to provide you with homegrown, premium American Wagyu beef. With early origins in second century Japan, the Wagyu breed is known for distinctive marbling and extreme tenderness, resulting in a spectacular eating experience.

Our Philosophy

At Golden Tulip Farms, the farmer and his wife are passionate about and committed to being good stewards of their animals, their family, and their farmlands. Golden Tulip Farms creates the elite, wholesome eating experience from their farm to your table.

Our Responsibility

The farmer and his wife ensure quality care for their Wagyu cattle. The animals are cared for in clean, modern barns and also enjoy green pastures and open air spaces.

Our Practices

Calves born at Golden Tulip Farms are hand raised on the family farm from birth to harvest. The farmer and his wife use professional nutritionists to provide a vegetarian diet of all-natural, local forages and grains. Their cattle are never fed animal byproducts or antibiotics and there is no use of steroids or growth hormones. In certain cases to prevent animals from suffering, they do allow therapeutic treatment. The farmer believes that this exception is only practical to ensure wise stewardship practices and ethical treatment to animals.

Health

American Wagyu beef is rich in both Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids. Research shows it is higher in mono-saturated fat levels and lower in saturated fat than traditional beef, making it both healthy and delicious.
