Sanford Farm
Sanford Farm raises 100% grass fed and finished Angus Hereford beef on rotated pasture in Exeter, Rhode Island, selling dry aged cuts direct from the farm with local pickup only.
Sanford Farm raises 100% grass fed and finished beef in Exeter, Rhode Island, rotating its Angus and Hereford cross cattle across 50 acres of pasture with no grain at any stage.
In winter the herd eats hay the family has grown and baled on the farm for nearly 40 years, and the beef is dry aged before being cut at a USDA inspected facility.
The farm now focuses exclusively on beef, sold by the cut with no bulk requirement, alongside discounted whole, half and quarter shares. There is no shipping or delivery, so you collect at the farm, and the family happily offers tours if you want to see the place first.

I cannot say enough good things about Sanford Farm! It is honestly such an amazing feeling to have the peace of mind that comes with knowing exactly where my beef is coming from and not having to question the quality of what I’m feeding my family. Sanford Farm holds their products to the highest standards, and you can absolutely taste the difference. Every meal I prepare using their products is noticeably better, and it has made me genuinely appreciate knowing the care and attention that goes into the food I’m putting on my table. Beyond the incredible taste, I really appreciate being able to support a local farm that takes such pride in what they provide to their customers. Sanford Farm has earned my trust, and I feel so much better knowing that I can purchase high-quality beef without having to wonder about what’s actually going into the product. If you’re looking for delicious, high-quality beef and want the peace of mind that comes from knowing where your food comes from, I highly recommend Sanford Farm! I will absolutely be a returning customer! ❤️
