The 280 acres of Maple Hill Farm were first settled sometime between 1730 and 1740, with the first part of the present farmhouse built in 1752. At New England farming's peak, Maple Hill was established as one of the preeminent dairy farms of the area, and in 1896 the old barn was raised twenty feet and doubled in length to accommodate a growing herd. Constructed of hand-hewn American Chestnut beams, the barn still stands as a testament to the farm's deep roots in the landscape. Today, most of the acreage is held in a permanent conservation restriction by the Trustees of Reservations and the East Quabbin Land Trust.

Under the leadership of Jayne Foley, who has served as president since the business started in 2017, Maple Hill Farm raises 100% grass-fed and grass-finished Angus cattle without antibiotics, hormones, or GMOs. The animals forage on 70 acres of pasture and 60 acres of hay fields, their natural diet, and are processed at Adams Farm in Athol, known for humane treatment and top-quality packaging. All beef is USDA graded Prime or Choice. The farm sells direct to individuals and restaurants throughout central and western Massachusetts, and customers keep coming back for what the farm calls the finest beef on the planet.
