About Our Farm

Highland Beef Farms began with a backpack, a dream, and a love for the land. Inspired by time spent with rural farmers in Colombia, Patricia and Jay Hersch left city life in the 1970’s to build a cattle farm in Virginia’s Highland Country. What began as a natural beef operation is now a nationally trusted provider of shelf-stable meat and cheese snacks, proudly made in the USA.

Now in our second generation of family ownership, we’re driven by the same values: quality, integrity, and a commitment to providing nutritious, delicious, reliable food to communities across the country.
