Burn Ayr Farm is a charming, small-scale, multigenerational farm located in scenic Delaware County. The farm specializes in raising 100% grass-fed Highland beef cattle, ensuring high-quality, healthy meat products that are free from antibiotics and hormones. Visitors can also find a variety of local, farm-raised products available in the farm’s store, supporting the farm’s commitment to sustainable and organic practices.
The farm’s history dates back to the mid-2000s when the family decided to start raising a small herd of Highland beef cattle. These cattle are renowned for their hardy nature and rich, flavorful meat. During the warm summer months, when the grasses in the surrounding pastures flourish, the cattle graze intensively on the lush, highland hillside pastures, taking advantage of the abundant natural forage. As the seasons shift and temperatures begin to drop, the herd is brought back to the farm where they are supplemented with farm-harvested hay to ensure they maintain their health and nutritional intake throughout the colder months.
In addition to cattle, the farm also raises a few heritage hogs each year. These hogs are carefully raised and processed at the farm’s facility, and their meat is sold at the farm store. The heritage breeds are chosen for their excellent flavor, traditional qualities, and environmental adaptability, further emphasizing the farm’s dedication to sustainability and preserving agricultural heritage.
