Meet Your Farmers

Where It All Started

Like many families today, you probably wonder where your food really comes from. You want to feed your loved ones meat and eggs raised with care, by people you can trust.

We’re Delvin and Rebecca Kropf, and we understand that desire completely.

Delvin bought his first Angus cattle as a 4H kid in 1990 and grew his herd and farming experience into a direct-to-consumer beef business for 25 years!  Rebecca grew up on a dairy farm just across the meadow.

Delvin dedicated 21 years to building a successful welding business that eventually crowded out the beef “hobby,” but has now decided to leave behind the mental and physical hazards of life as a self-employed welder.

We decided to pursue farming as our primary income— with you and families like yours in mind.

A New Path Forward

A dream doesn’t pay the mortgage, and our figures didn’t show much margin after considering the costs of starting a conventional farm.

Then things shifted. We learned about regenerative agriculture and the opportunity to farm with management practices that work in harmony with the land. That suited us perfectly—all we had to start with was a vintage loader tractor and an old hay rake and baler.

We found a farm in Peach Bottom, Lancaster County that works beautifully for serving families throughout Lancaster and Kennett Square, PA as well as Northeast and Darlington, MD.  After countless hours researching cattle breeds, we discovered Dexter cattle—a breed that produces tasty, tender beef on an all-grass diet with a slightly smaller stature than traditional beef animals.

Our Promise to Your Family

With that fresh breath of wind in our dreams, we’re excited that God has given us this opportunity to return to the beef industry with regenerative practices that prioritize animal welfare and land stewardship.

Our animals live well during their time in our meadows and provide the healthy, tasty nutrition your family deserves.

We’re not a big operation—and that’s exactly the point. You get to know exactly where your food comes from.
