Flat Rock Farm

Flat Rock Farm is a Scottish highland cattle breeder in Chesterfield, MA, raising stock in Hampshire County and the Pioneer Valley near Springfield. Under the care of Jonathan Parrott, the farm has been part of the American Highland Cattle Association for over a decade and follows recommended health screenings for genetic conditions. The herd undergoes periodic performance testing for weight gain and resilience to cold winters. Each calf is raised on pasture with access to a shelter barn and daily handling to encourage calm temperaments.

Herds graze rotationally across gently rolling fields that have been in the Parrott family for generations, and animals receive mineral supplements year-round. Jonathan has shown several cows at regional fairs, earning reserve champion ribbons for their hardiness and distinctive coats. Visitors often note the relaxed atmosphere and the clear focus on animal well-being that guides every aspect of farm life.
