About the Farm
Austin Brothers Valley Farm stands as a testament to agricultural perseverance and family dedication, founded in 1889 by the Austin family during an era when farms flourished throughout Western Massachusetts with dairy farming as the backbone of rural life. For over a century, milk production sustained the Austin Farm, creating a legacy that would endure through generations of committed stewardship on their 130 acres of green pasture.
When economic changes forced the end of their dairy operation in 2006, the Austin family refused to abandon their agricultural roots or their commitment to local farming. Three generations of Austins, led by Billy and Roxanne alongside their son Michael and his family, made the pivotal transition from dairy to beef cattle, transforming their century-old operation while maintaining the values that had sustained them for over a hundred years. The family homestead remains the heart of Austin Family gatherings, symbolizing the continuity that defines their approach to farming.
Today, Austin Brothers Valley Farm represents a harmonious blend of tradition and modern agricultural practices, raising cattle naturally on green pasture with hay, silage, and fresh water, without hormones or feed additives. Their USDA inspected beef is dry-aged for 14-21 days to ensure optimal tenderness and taste, reflecting their commitment to quality that honors both their heritage and their customers. Through their farm store, farmers' markets, and partnerships with local businesses, the Austins continue to champion the "buy local" philosophy that has guided their family for more than 130 years.
