Info

Sebago Lake Ranch is located 1 mile from the South shore of Sebago Lake on the Gorham/Standish line. We also farm in other parts of Gorham and Standish. We have been raising beef under a Natural label since the 1990s and switched to a no-grain, grass-only diet in 2006.

We have practiced management intensive grazing since 1999 and worked with the USDA Natural Resource Conservation Service for many years on projects to improve soil, water and air quality. As the manager of Sebago Lake Ranch I farm on a professional level. I have a BS from Cornell University in Animal Science and have attended various schools and seminars on Grass-Fed beef. I also have an extensive library on the subject, constantly staying up to date with the newest knowledge and technology.

Animals are humanely, safely and efficiently handled with a chute system purchased in 2006. We have been certified with the Maine Beef Quality Assurance program. We use a local abattoir that is federally USDA inspected and packages the meat in cryovac plastic. Right now we are limited to a seasonal production model because we want to achieve the maximum levels of Omega-3 and CLA that can be found in an animal finished on green grass. You may also find us at the Portland Farmers Market in Deering Oaks Park, May–November from 7–noon, and at the Sebago Brewing Company at their Portland, Scarborough, and Gorham locations.

We also produce/sell Maple Syrup.
