pasture-raised beef
beef production & offerings
Our goal is to produce beautiful beef that is raised on grass, hay and annual forages year-round utilizing sustainable and regenerative farming practices. We practice rotational grazing and manage our beef cattle to prioritize herd and soil health and actively manage our pastures to promote diversified and nutritional forage production. Our beef program has been continuously refined the past few years as we've been experimenting with different production practices and adding acreage to our operation. Our beef is "grass-fed", but we do supplement feed lightly after the calves are weaned around 8 months to achieve the quality of tender marbled beef we desire to produce. We're currently raising and breeding a combination of Red and Black Angus cattle. We strive to maintain a herd with workable attitudes and productive natures that perform well on pasture.
We work with NRCS and Loudoun Soil and Water on multiple soil and wildlife conservation projects and do not spray on agri-chemicals on our fields. The grain they receive is minimal but has a positive impact on carcass quality and tenderness in our opinion. We love grilling steaks with our kids outside and value the nutrition beef offers to our children as well as the family-time that happens lighting the grill, preparing the meat and enjoying time at the table together.
