Coatesville, PA
Established in 1984, Buck Run Beef has been supplying Chester County and Pennsylvania with the highest quality grass-fed beef. Our cattle have, and always will be, treated humanely and are free to roam in our pastures. We have years of experience in breeding for taste and nutrition.
Dr. Bill Elkins is retired from a career in medical science, mostly at the University of Pennsylvania. His wife, Helen Elkins, is Treasurer for Buck Run Land & Cattle, LLC.
Fun fact – Dr. Eklins invented the bone marrow transplant – safe to say he’s got his operation down to a science.
Dr. Elkins’ Beef is made from Angus/Anguscross cattle that spend their entire lives grazing pastures at Buck Run Farm in East Fallowfield, Pennsylvania. They are not fed grain and are handled as humanely as possible. We do not use growth stimulants (hormones or antibiotics).

At Bendy Brook Farm, the Mast Family raises 100% grass fed beef, alongside heritage pork and pastured poultry, including chicken, turkey, and eggs. Our land has been chemical free for over 30 years, and we raise our animals with the most natural and sustainable practices. All of our animals are GMO free, and we feed our poultry and pigs organically grown and soy free grains.
Sustainable Agriculture & Humane Treatment
The Mast Family has been farming our land since 1941, which is located on 120 acres in the pristine Oley Valley. Nevin has been raising livestock for over 40 years, and is passionate about providing the highest quality meats, by using practices that sustain the natural ecosystem and foster a humane lifestyle for the animals.
All of our animals are raised outside, on pasture, with optional cover for our pigs and chickens, who can be sensitive to the summer sun. We only raise poultry in warmer months so that they can be in a natural environment. Our egg layers have a mobile trailer for their chicken house, and are also rotated on green grass.
No Chemicals, No GMOs, No Hormones
At Bendy Brook Farm we raise our animals naturally and intervene with their routine as little as possible. Our beef are 100% grass fed, and we use rotational grazing practices to keep our farm ecosystem in balance. In the winter they receive hay, maintaining their grass diet. The calves are born in the spring as nature intended and raised in the pasture alongside their mothers.
Our poultry and pigs are raised with plenty of space to roam and display their natural behaviors. Any feed they receive is soy-free, organically grown grain.
Our pigs are a Berkshire cross breed, sought-after among chefs for amazing flavor. Our pigs also feed on whey from a neighboring cheesemaker, further improving our pork flavor.
