“As it is known that food is the way to a man’s heart, Greyledge Farm’s All-Natural Black Angus Beef Tenderloin is the perfect cut to serve to your sweetheart on Valentine's Day. Nutritious, flavorful and dry-aged to perfection for 20 days, seconds will definitely be a must.”
-Libby Fitzgerald, Owner Greyledge Farm
We make no secret of the fact that Connecticut is our most favorite state, but even if Peachy Deegan did not grow up there we would still be singing the praises of the beef at Greyledge Farm. Most recently we have tried the All-Natural Black Angus Beef Tenderloin and it is absolutely perfect. Even if you do not think you are a fabulous cook, when you start with the right ingredients such as this you can hardly go wrong. Especially now in this blizzard of blizzards, who wants to trample out in the Manhattan snow when you can get a nice delivery from Greyledge Farm? We highly recommend the Greyledge Farm’s All-Natural Black Angus Beef Tenderloin. It goes very well with the Ehlers Estate 1886 that we recommended earlier today.
We first featured Greyledge Farm with their Black Angus Beef http://www.whomyouknow.com/2010/01/peachys-pantry-whom-you-know-happily.html and this Tenderloin is just as excellent if not better.
Greyledge Farm (www.greyledgefarm.com), a family-owned farm located in Roxbury, Connecticut. We are so pleased to tell you that its all natural pasture raised Black Angus beef is available to the New York and Hamptons markets. What began as a small operation providing family, friends and the neighboring community with a local product of the highest quality, is growing to a new level of success. Greyledge Farm’s commitment to the health and vitality of its cattle, exceptional farm practices, and responsible stewardship of the environment, have earned the farm a reputation for premier, delicious USDA-approved all natural Black Angus beef. Increasing demand has propelled Greyledge Farm to expand, and their full-range of premium Black Angus beef products is now available through select artisanal retailers and gourmet green markets that compliment the farm’s commitment to sustainable agriculture and best farm practices.
Premium All Natural Black Angus Beef
Greyledge Farm’s unrivalled all natural Black Angus beef is healthy, tender, juicy and incredibly flavorful. Committed to producing the finest quality pasture raised products, Greyledge Farm’s Black Angus cattle are never fed animal by-products, growth-stimulating hormones, antibiotics or steroids. Nutritious grasses, clovers, natural minerals and salts enrich the pastures and hayfields where the cattle roam, providing a uniquely bucolic and rich natural environment for grazing. As a result, the herd is content, healthy, and high in Vitamin E, Omega-3’s, and Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA), which is found to help fight cancer and lower cholesterol.
To obtain Greyledge’s signature flavor, the herd’s grass diet is supplemented by a proprietary blend of locally grown natural grain. This ensures that the lean, healthy qualities of the premium-cuts are complimented by superior marbling and tenderness. To achieve an unmatched buttery flavor and soft texture, the all natural Black Angus beef is dry-aged for twenty days. Greyledge Farm’s Black Angus burger has earned a standing and loyal following as a featured menu item at the renowned Mayflower Inn & Spa restaurant (Relais & Châteaux) in Washington, Conn.
“Our Greyledge Black Angus burger is one of the most popular items on the Tap Room menu,” said Justin Ermini, Executive Chef at the Mayflower Inn & Spa. “We receive many inquiries as to where we source our high quality and delicious beef, and we see customers returning time and time again for it,” he added.
Unique Herd and Stress-Free Environment
Greyledge Farm is unique among most purveyors of beef in that it provides exclusive and continuous care for the herd for the entirety of its life cycle. The vast majority of the animals at Greyledge Farm are born on the property and the few that are acquired to compliment the herd are 100% source-verified. No animal in the herd is more than eight years old. In stark contrast to modern farm economics where the emphasis is on yield and profitability, Greyledge Farm’s focus is on its animals, the quality of the beef and its reputation. The cattle are raised the old-fashioned way – in a gentle country environment. Through a combination of private farm land and partnerships with local land trusts, Greyledge Farm cattle have access to more than 1,000 acres of lush pasture and hayfields. They are often found in their favorite spots at certain times of the day, such as wading in the streams and ponds on the Greyledge property in the morning and resting in the shaded meadows during the midday.
“At Greyledge, we are personally responsible for the quality of our beef and we spare no expense in the individualized care and humane treatment of our animals,” said Terry Fitzgerald of Greyledge Farm.
The Greyledge Farm Family
To maintain the highest standards at Greyledge Farm, the Fitzgeralds partnered with knowledgeable and accredited industry professionals, Mark and Tammie Maynard. Mark is a fourth generation farmer and a graduate of the University of Connecticut’s School of Agriculture with a degree in agricultural sciences. Mark has been recognized as the premiere Black Angus breeder and exhibitor at the New England region at the Eastern States Exposition. As hands-on owners, the Fitzgerald and Maynard families are dedicated to quality and excellence in every aspect of Greyledge Farm. Together, they have spent the past four years perfecting the product and building the herd so they can now offer it selectively to gourmet retailers in New York City and the Hamptons.
