Meat Farms & Ranches near Elkton, MD

Oxford

Meadow Haven Farm in Oxford, Pennsylvania is the Lair family's ninth-generation operation, rotationally grazing beef and dairy cows, sheep, goats, pigs, and chickens on no-till, chemical-free, biodiverse ground all year — no antibiotics, synthetic hormones, or GMOs. The Friday-Saturday farmstand on Ray Mar Road carries their beef, chicken, lamb, multi-colored eggs, and raw milk plus local cheese and honey, with bulk bundles from 10-pound sample boxes to whole lambs shipped frozen or picked up.

Cochranville

Snuff Mill pairs a working butcher counter with a full restaurant and wine bar at Independence Mall in Wilmington. The kitchen sources pasture-raised, locally cultivated meat and turns it into steakhouse classics and seasonal plates, while the butchery counter sells the same cuts to take home. It's a rare combination for the Wilmington dining scene — you can buy the ribeye raw or have it cooked.

Coatesville

Stoltzfus Meats has run a stand at the New Castle Farmers Market in New Castle, Delaware since 1954, one of five market locations for the Pennsylvania Dutch meat business founded in Intercourse. The counter carries scrapple, bacon, ham, bologna, and both fresh and smoked sausage made using Lancaster County recipes, plus jerky, snack sticks, and beef from Enola Cattle Co.
