What We Do...
As a Certified Organic Farm, we raise beef free of hormones and antibiotics; but, we do so much more than that. We believe that being Organic is just the beginning.
We use ecologically sound and sustainable farming techniques, minimizing our reliance on fossil fuels:
We grow our own 100% organic hay right on the farm.
Our cattle are bred, born, and raised right here, on over 1,000 acres of rolling grass & clover pasture. This means no shipping to or from feed lots.
We fence the water sources on our land.
These practices reduce our dependence on fossil fuels, keep our environment safe, and produce healthier cattle.

What We Don’t Do...
We at Mount Airy Farms believe that what we don't do on our farm is just as important as what we do:
We do not confine our cattle. Our cows are truly 100% Free Range, never penned. Each cow is provided approximately 3 acres free range grazing, allowing our animals excellent forage opportunity without overuse of the land. It also means leaner beef, with all the nutrition benefits that Free Range and Grass-Fed beef provide.
We do not brand our cattle.
We do not genetically modify our breeding stock.
We do not purchase cattle from feedlots.
