Our Meat
Most important, we have selected a butcher---Blue Ridge Meats of Front Royal---who shares our dedication to humane treatment of our animals. Lois and Doug Aylestock’s facility is USDA-inspected; but more important is their own understanding of how important their handling and butchering is to our final product. Few cattlemen, and even fewer butchers, have heard of Temple Grandin, a woman who has pioneered in humane treatment of cattle. Lois and Doug are something like disciples of Temple.

All our meat is dry aged for at least two weeks before butchering. Individual cuts are vacuumed packed for maximum safety and then quick-frozen. Special orders and sides and quarters are also available.
You are also very welcome to visit Thistle Hill Farm but please make advance arrangement so we’ll be sure to be here to give you the grand tour. We want you to know all about what we do and why we do it…walk our pastures…enjoy our cows. And we’ll tell you all about the real guarantee behind Thistle Hill meat: it’s what our 14 grandchildren eat. (Pictures quickly available upon request.)
Thistle Hill is not a part of the industrial meat business. Our “un-supermarket” can guarantee delicious, healthy food. Unfortunately, we can’t guarantee a constant variety of choices. We believe in Slow Food; there are only so many animals on our pastures and we cannot rush them.
Be sure to ask about special packaging we offer and to be put on our mailing list.
