Burley Stick Farm
Burley Stick Farm is the Metcalf family's fifth generation cattle farm in Barnardsville, North Carolina selling pasture raised, grain finished beef and eggs direct from the farm.
Burley Stick Farm is the Metcalf family's farm in Barnardsville, North Carolina, in the mountains near Asheville.
The cattle are pasture raised, grass fed and grain finished with no added hormones, and the family credits careful herd stewardship and good genetics for the tenderness and flavour of its aged beef.
Because every animal comes from this one farm, the beef is somewhat seasonal. It is sold by the cut, from filet and ribeye to short ribs, roasts and ground beef, and sometimes by the quarter, with seasonal bundles that add the farm's eggs. Phone or email to order, ask about pricing and join the mailing list for processing and delivery dates.

Best, and freshest, beef I’ve ever found. The owner is wonderfully nice and goes out of her way to make sure you’re satisfied. It’s really good.

Morgan was super flexible with setting up a same day appointment for me to pick up one of their beef stock bundles. She is a radiant and kind person, and her happiness just speaks to the joy it must bring her to provide nutritious and local food to the community. The broth I've made with their soup bones is so rich and incredible. So grateful to have this family in Barnardsville raising cattle in a humane and healthy way!
