About

Family Black Angus farm in the hills of Monkton (Baltimore County), Maryland. Ed Burchell bought the farm in 1986 and founded Roseda in 1996 with cattle expert Dean Bryant; the farm lists about 350 acres and 600 head. Calves are weaned at seven months and graze pasture for most of their lives, then are finished on chopped corn plants and kernels, hay, alfalfa and soybean meal. All of the beef, including burgers and ground, is dry-aged 14 to 21 days. Rotational grazing, a gravity-fed water system that keeps runoff out of the Chesapeake Bay (1999 Baltimore County Soil Conservation District Cooperator of the Year), and a solar-powered farm and farm store.

Note: Grass-fed, grain-finished. No growth hormones; antibiotics only when medically necessary, per the farm. Natural, not organic. Cattle are raised with about 45 local partner farms and processed at Roseda's own plants in Baltimore City, and the beef is also sold at Giant Food and other Maryland grocers, so buy direct at shop.roseda.com or the farm stores. Monkton farm store open Tue-Sat; website customer service (410) 800-8035.
