Learn why we grass finish beef and key elements to be successful doing it at our upcoming Regenerative Livestock Workshop

The term “grass finished” might be confusing. Don’t all cows eat grass? And what do you mean finished?

The short answer is that grass finished beef, to us, means that the cow, steer or heifer was never fed grain and was still fattened to an acceptable level to create marbling in the beef and a juicy, tender and flavorful meat for your meal.

Enjoy time on our farm with friends or family at our charming farmhouse. While staying with us you may schedule a tour or trail ride. You can purchase our meats and eggs to enjoy with your meals. We can even create a customized educational day for your group if you give us some notice, giving you a more in depth understanding of whatever area of interest you want to focus on, if it’s cattle, sheep or pigs, grazing management, wildlife habitat or the business of regenerative farming.

How to order a whole hog raised using regenerative grazing methods in our fields and forest at Dragonfly Farms

Good pork is full of flavor, fat and color, with marbling like beef, not bland and mushy “the other white meat”. Dragonfly Farms has delicious, nutritious pork available by the piece or in larger bundles.

We have a hands on workshop about regenerative farming, for the homesteader, beginning farmer or concerned consumer.

Have you ever wondered why a glass of wine tastes more acidic with one pairing and more sweet with another? Does red wine always go with cheeses?

Celebrate the beauty of the autumn season at Dragonfly Farms! Gather around a communal table set on the farm's 800-acre property and enjoy a wine-tasting focused on local Virginia wines, enjoy a farm-to-table charcuterie grazing table, and take in the beautiful scenery of fall across the rolling fields.

Chuck roast is one of our all time favorite cuts. Slow cooked in a crock pot, this roast can be so tender and flavorful.

We were asked to speak about grass finishing steers using regenerative practices at the National Grazing Lands Coalition Conference.

They are taking samples from other regenerative farms as well as grain fed feedlot beef.
