Hours: We are open seven days a week year-round by appointment only. Check our Web site (www.beefandhayproducer.com) for up-to-date information on what we’re doing at the farm, farmers’ market schedule and new products. For those living near Gainesville, we encourage you to visit the farm and pick up your fresh cuts. Just remember to call first to ensure we are nearby. During the season, please stop by one of several farmers’ markets in the metropolitan Washington, DC area in which we participate. We sell our all-natural Angus beef, chicken meat, and eggs throughout the year.
Special Comments: We are a fifth generation family farm, certified as a Virginia Quality-Assured Beef Producer, located near the Manassas National Battlefield. The Virginia Department of Agriculture awarded our farm the Century Farm award, meaning we have been farming the same property in the same family for over 100 years.
Products: We raise our own grass-fed Angus beef, pastured poultry and our laying hens are on fresh grazing land as well. Our eggs are large brown. Our animals are humanely raised and handled. No antibiotics, no hormones or steroids, and no fertilizers or pesticide. There’s a reason our meats taste better and are better for you - we don’t take shortcuts, we don’t rush the process, and our cows and chickens don’t do drugs! We also sell horse-quality hay and cattle hay, round and square bales. Cool season mixed grasses (orchard, timothy, and fescue mix) and warm season grasses (switch, blue stem, turkeys’ foot, and Indian grass mix - very high in protein and horses love it).
