Welcome to our website! We
hope that you enjoy learning about our farm and beef operation
and wish to purchase our products after reading about us and
what we have to offer you and your family.
To provide our customers with genuinely tasty, affordable,
healthy and locally produced beef raised in as gentle and
humane way as possible.
To provide our beef the most healthy and palatable pasture
and supplements as possible while with us on our farm.
To provide our beef with the best possible health management
while with us on our farm.
To provide our beef with the best possible life while with
us on our farm.
To farm in a sustainable and healthy way and to preserve and
maintain the integrity of the land and
environment on which we make a living.
We are
located in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia on
the road known as “the F.T. Valley road” in stunning Madison
County. Our beef graze placidly on the hill and valley
pastures at the base and belly of Old Rag Mountain. We
maintain that just like you, when and if you visit this area,
that the view and pastoral setting, “just makes it better” for
our beef! Our logo states “beef raised with an Old Rag
Mountain view!” Years ago, when we were younger, we remember
beef being raised the way we are now raising our beef and the
taste was so memorable. That is why we state that Rider’s
Backfield Farm Beef is raised and tastes the “way it used to
be; delicious, affordable and local.”
