Copper Penny Farm

We are a small farm in Adamstown, Maryland, in southern Frederick County. We currently produce pasture-raised, all-natural beef, pork and lamb. We believe in treating our animals with love and affection, and allow them to live as naturally as possible. We never use drugs, such as growth stimulants, hormones or antibiotics (unless medically required). All of our animals live in large pastures and are allowed to move around and forage at will.

We prefer to raise heritage animals, which are breeds that have developed naturally, before the demands of the industrial food supply required selective breeding of animals to develop "desirable" traits. These traditional breeds are generally better able to withstand disease and thrive under natural pasture conditions. By raising these animals, we hope to help preserve the genetics of the original sustainable breeds.
