The Cosgroves raise Angus cattle, pasture-raised pigs, and other livestock using thoughtful, responsible farming practices. Cattle live on green pastures suited to the Southern Maryland climate, while pigs enjoy access to pasture and high-quality feed—resulting in high-quality, great-tasting beef and pork.
