Founded by Irish immigrants, Wilson Farm has been in operation at its present location since 1884. James Alexander Wilson, W.M. Wilson, and brother-in-law George Reynolds came to Lexington from Enniskillen, Ireland. Here they were able to buy 16 acres of land and rent some of the surrounding fields for farming. James A. Wilson was the salesman, and the other partners worked the farm, growing vegetable crops and plants. Included among them were: cabbage, white turnip, celery, carrots, and beets.

We’re out to make the world a little bit of a better place the only way we know how—with delicious beef. For us, that means ditching the typical associations that come with the word “farm” for things like idyllic pastures, lush grass and happy cattle instead. And it means farming in a way that heals the land rather than, well, the opposite. For you, hopefully it means choosing a beef product for your family that makes you smile just a little bit bigger and satisfies you just a lot bit more.
