Grass-Fed Beef
We treat our animals humanely, and the environment sustainably, while producing healthy, nutritious meat. Maple Hill Farm is dedicated to raising Angus cattle that are grass-fed only, without antibiotics, hormones or GMO’s (genetically modified organisms).
Our primary market is direct sales to private individuals and restaurants who will be anxious to return for more because of our superior product.
We are using the Adams Farm processing facility in Athol, MA, respected for its humane treatment of animals and its first-class packaging.
