The Cosgroves raise Angus cattle, pasture-raised pigs, and other livestock using thoughtful, responsible farming practices. Cattle live on green pastures suited to the Southern Maryland climate, while pigs enjoy access to pasture and high-quality feed—resulting in high-quality, great-tasting beef and pork.

JR and Cathy’s commitment to land stewardship and conservation has earned recognition, including being named 2015 Calvert County Soil Conservationists of the Year. They are also deeply committed to supporting agriculture beyond their own farm, having served for many years in leadership roles on the Calvert County Farm Bureau Board of Directors, advocating for local farmers and the future of agriculture in Southern Maryland.
