Bear Creek Farm

Cattle on Bear Creek Farm are born and raised on 1,400 scenic acres near Leipers Fork, Tenn., in pastoral valleys of rich farmland amid gently rolling hills. The Cherry family has a long history here; we’ve raised cattle on this land along Bear Creek for more than 20 years, and we remain a family business. Our adult children return during haying season to help us, and our teenaged twins drive the

tractor and cut hay. We began raising all-natural Angus beef as consumers started asking for healthy, wholesome beef that doesn’t contain hormones or antibiotics. They want to know where their food comes from and that it’s safe. At Bear Creek, we graze our animals on land that we know like the back of our hand and we feed them hay grown on that very land. We grain finish our beef with corn and soybeans grown by our neighbors who share our views on food safety. We raise Black Angus here at Bear Creek Farm because, quite simply, they produce the best beef. It’s an older, established breed, so the genetics have been set and you know the kind of meat you’re going to get: tender and flavorful. Conventional cattle farming calls for purchasing and raising animals based on how fast and big they can grow. But as we built our herd, we purchased bulls for quality and outstanding genetics that would produce better-marbled and tender meat. We strive for quality and the highest level of standards rather than volume. As we have received so much positive feedback and support, we have decided to expand our farm to include natural, responsible, and humane pig farming. Recently we have become the proud owners of our first three pigs: Sister, Pricilla, and Earl. Sister and Pricilla are Yorkshire sows, known for being wonderful mothers due to their nurturing nature, and Eddy is a Berkshire boar, a breed famous for their deliciously marbled meat. In short, our farm is devoted to our animals and our customers. We are committed to farm in a responsible, humane, and natural way, so that our customers can enjoy healthy and extraordinarily tasty meat.
