Since 1872, when Nathan Shipley married Sarah Bradley of Vilas, NC, and purchased 115 acres of Sarah's family's farmland beside the Bradley farmhouse, the Shipley farm has been breeding and raising Appalachian Grown pasture raised beef.
Our meat is produced without steroids, antibiotics, or growth stimulants, the way we've always done it, with "no shortcuts". Our "Signature Beef" product line is further dry aged for added flavor and tenderness. We also now offer naturally-raised pork, sourced from partners in North Carolina, new in 2023!
Our cattle are specially bred and fed with a blended diet of high quality clover-rich pasture forage, supplemented with a vegetable based feed for the best flavor, texture, tenderness, and marbling.
