Built in 1939 on a picturesque ridge running between Bridgewater and Roxbury, Connecticut, Greyledge Farm has been owned by Terry and Libby Fitzgerald since 1993. With a deep interest in agriculture and preserving Connecticut’s agrarian past, as well as a passion for the “locavore” food movement, the Fitzgeralds began raising Black Angus cattle to provide family, friends and the neighboring community with a local product of the highest quality.
In early 2009, Greyledge expanded through a combination with Mark and Tammie Maynard’s Ox Hollow Farm. The farms have enjoyed a longstanding association, with the Maynard family actively involved in overseeing both farms. The integration of our farms has allowed Greyledge Farm to increase the resources dedicated to providing our clients with the highest quality, all-natural, pasture-raised Black Angus beef, poultry and pork products.
The primary focus of Greyledge Farm continues to be defined by best farm practices, the humane treatment of our animals and a high level of environmental consciousness, including the use of solar and wind power on our farm properties.
Our animals graze freely on verdant grass pastures with access to the fresh, clean water of the Shepaug River Valley. They are never closely confined, nor given supplemental growth hormones, steroids or antibiotics. Simply put, we are turning back the clock to produce beef, pork and poultry that tastes the way it did several decades ago when it was raised on small, family farms.
Our Greyledge Farm Family
To maintain the highest standards at Greyledge Farm, the Fitzgeralds collaborated 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. He has been recognized as a premiere Black Angus breeder and exhibitor in 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 countless hours building their herd and perfecting the product so they can offer it selectively to gourmet retailers in New York City and the Hamptons, as well as in select New York City and regional restaurants, farm stands and green markets.
