About Mount Airy Farm
Generations of Sustainable Cattle Farming
At Mount Airy Farm in Upperville, Virginia, we're dedicated to raising cattle the right way. Our commitment begins with ensuring our cattle are 100% free of hormones and antibiotics. Our cows are bred, born, and raised right here on our expansive 1,000-acre farm. They roam freely on bluegrass and clover pastures, embodying what it means to be truly free-range and never penned.
We believe that healthy animals make for healthier people, and this philosophy guides every decision we make. Our approach to farming is rooted in stewardship of the land for future generations. We implement ecologically sound and sustainable farming techniques, including fencing off water sources to protect them. To provide our cattle with pure nutrients year-round, we even harvest our own hay.

Grass-Fed & Grass Finished Nutrition
Our free-range, grass-fed cows thrive on the hay we harvest ourselves directly from our land.
