About Upper Castle Tallow Co. – Tradition Meets Innovation

🐂 Strengthening Rural Supply Chains with Integrity

At UpperCastleTallowCo, regenerative wellness begins at the source. We’re proud to partner with small-scale ranchers and processors in and around Canajoharie, NY, who share our dedication to clean sourcing and ethical agriculture.

Through our pilot initiative, we’ve transformed beef fat—traditionally discarded—into value-added tallow products that reintroduce ancestral nutrition to modern homes.

“Before UpperCastleTallowCo, we never thought tallow could be a business driver. Now, we're reinvesting in sustainable practices and creating new income from materials we used to toss.” — Processor, Montgomery County

By sourcing Wagyu and grass-fed beef fat from nearby farms and processors, we:

  • Reinforce shorter, transparent supply chains

  • Promote zero-waste production in rural hubs

  • Help local suppliers tap into new revenue through regenerative commerce

These relationships are more than transactional—they’re transformational. Every jar is an investment in rural revitalization, grounded in shared prosperity, heritage-driven nutrition, and clean economic growth.

UpperCastleTallowCo is committed to advancing ethical production practices, rural revitalization, and transparent sourcing within the regenerative wellness space.

🌱 Ethically Sourced Inputs We procure premium suet from grass-fed cattle raised by small-scale agricultural partners in rural regions. All suppliers adhere to environmentally responsible standards, reinforcing our commitment to regenerative agriculture and supply chain integrity.

⚙️ Sustainable and Inclusive Operations Products are produced in micro-batches using low-waste methods that preserve nutrient density while minimizing environmental impact. Our labor practices support rural artisans and workforce development, ensuring economic benefits remain within underserved communities.
