Real Food From Real People
Pierce Creek
Pierce Creek
Pierce Creek isn’t just serving food—it’s building something much bigger. What started as a family cattle operation in Lonedell has grown into a full-on agribusiness rooted in quality, transparency, and local pride. From raising pasture-raised cattle with no added hormones or unnecessary antibiotics to opening a restaurant that reflects those same values, everything they do is built on care and intention. This isn’t just beef—it’s a movement
The Founders
Kent and Rachelle are doing something seriously special at Pierce Creek. Everything from the beef to the bun is the real deal—no shortcuts, no fluff. Just honest, pasture-raised Missouri cattle cooked with care and served up like they’ve been doing it for generations. Shooting this didn’t feel like work. It felt like helping tell a story that deserves to be seen.
Where’s the beef?
Pierce Creek beef is raised just an hour outside St. Louis in Lonedell—no added hormones, no weird stuff, just clean, quality meat from people who truly give a damn. Whether it’s grass-fed or grain-finished, everything is intentional. I wanted the photos to reflect that same care and attention
Freshness overload
Beyond their signature beef, Pierce Creek is expanding into specialty meats and pasture-raised poultry, all sourced with the same attention to quality and care. They’re also teaming up with a handful of trusted local farmers to bring in fresh, seasonal produce—so everything on your plate supports the land and the people who tend it.
Make it stand out
Local
One of the things I respect most about Kent and Rachelle is how committed they are to keeping everything local. Not just the beef, but the people, the partnerships, the energy. They want their space to be filled with makers, brands, and regulars who represent what’s good in the St. Louis region. If you’re a local and you care about quality—they want you in the room
The Guarantee
Everything at Pierce Creek is built on transparency. You know where your food is coming from, how it was raised, and who raised it. That kind of honesty is rare—but it’s exactly what makes them different. Every meal starts with that promise.
