Who we are

Red cattle grazing a green pasture by the barn on the 4F family farm

We're a family-owned and -operated farm in Pearl River County, about an hour north of New Orleans. We sell Akaushi Wagyu from our family farm straight to the folks who eat it, plus homemade bakes from the 4F Kitchen.

Lewis runs the cattle side and walks every share buyer through their cut sheet himself. Call him with questions; he'd rather talk beef than sell you something you don't need.

4F started years ago as a dream shared by Lewis G. Frost Jr. and Merrill G. Frost. Both grew up horseback, and western life was part of who they were. They passed that love down to their two sons, Lewis and Matthew.

In 2012 they bought the farm and brought their horses home to it. In 2020 they added another parcel, and in 2023 they brought cattle into the mix. Always looking for the best he could find, Lewis Jr. chose to raise Wagyu beef.

We lost him in 2026, but his vision lives on. Today 4F keeps building a herd on great genetics and raising the best beef we can, from our family farm to your table.

How it gets to you

Our beef for boxes and individual cuts is processed under USDA inspection, vacuum sealed, frozen and labeled with the 4F logo and net weight. Share beef is processed custom-exempt for the share owners. Then it comes back to River Ridge for pickup or delivery.
