A Glimpse at Our Story
Boyden Farm is owned and operated by Mark Boyden, a fifth-generation Boyden. In 2000 Mark brought the farm in a new direction, transitioning from dairy to beef. Mark, a 1988 graduate from The University of Vermont with a degree in Agriculture, had to learn the business end of raising cattle as this was very different from producing dairy. The Boydens’ beef business is everchanging and evolving but Mark has put passion and focus on producing beef only from cattle that are grass-fed and grain-finished. Mark strives at providing his customers with the best quality of Vermont born and raised beef by working with neighboring family farms and a family-owned butcher shop.
Boyden Farm is considered home to many. Mark’s brother David owns and operates Boyden Valley Winery from the same property. Mark’s wife Lauri operates The Barn at Boyden Farm, a space for special events which is renovated from the family’s original 1914 hayloft. Mark and Lauri also live on the farm where they have raised their three daughters; Emily, Lucy, and Rachel.
Boyden Farm Beef can be found at select retailers.
