Welcome to Running W Farm
Welcome to our Running W Farm! We are a family-owned farm in Chestertown, Maryland. The farm has been in our family since the 1950’s, and in 2008 we decided to start raising Scottish Highland Cattle. Over the years our herd has grown to be almost 100 head of cattle! We sell grass fed Highland Beef and offer a variety of Highland Cow Experiences!
Meat Products
It is our belief that healthy food begins with healthy animals raised as naturally as possible. Our cattle are grass fed, grass finished, and raised under Beef Quality Assurance and Quality Highland Beef Programs. Highland beef is well marbled, and due to their double coat keeping them warm throughout winter, they have less back fat than other breeds. Highland beef is naturally lean, tender, and flavorful. It also has health benefits, having more vitamin E, Beta Carotene, higher Iron levels, and lower cholesterol. Along with Highland beef we also sell locally raised pork and chicken products. Products can be picked up at the farm or at the Chestertown Farmers Market.
Meet the Moos
Our Meet the Moos sessions are private, 1 hour sessions on the farm for 1-6 people to brush, feed and learn about Highland Cows and our program. Appointment is required.
Interested in doing a photo session on the farm, visiting with a large group, or having the cows attend an upcoming event? Send us a message!
