Our Mission: To provide our neighbors with delicious tender beef, raised naturally on grass pastures.

Hello,
Thanks for stopping by our site. We hope you enjoy learning about our family farm and how we plan to save it from being enveloped by a giant farm. Don't be bashful about asking questions and we hope you'll come see us soon to pick up some steaks.

Thanks to everyone that participated in our annual Day on the Farm. The weather couldn't have been more perfect and the bugs as well as the kids were well behaved. People travelled from CA, MD and even Australia for festivities and were not disappointed with all the food and activities.
