Seaview Farm in Rockport, Massachusetts raises Devon cattle for their high-quality, grass-fed beef, which is sold directly to customers. Devon cattle are a heritage breed with a long history in New England, as the first Devons were brought to the region by Pilgrims in 1623. The beef is sold in several ways:
Whole or Half Carcasses: The farm offers customers the option to purchase a whole or half side of beef, which is a common practice for smaller farms selling direct to consumers.
Farm Store: Customers can buy individual cuts of beef at the on-site farm store, which is a convenient way to purchase smaller quantities. The farm often offers ground beef in special 10 or 20-pound boxes.
Community Supported Agriculture (CSA): Seaview Farm also offers a meat CSA, where members receive a share of the farm's products.
The farm emphasizes that their grass-fed beef is not only healthier, but also has a distinct, rich flavor. Because it's naturally lower in fat, it may require slightly different cooking methods to maintain its tenderness.
