Grassy Pond Farm LLC

Grassy Pond Farm LLC, Wagyu cattle, South Paris, ME, operates in Oxford County and the Western Maine region near Portland. Owner Albert Holden maintains detailed bloodline records and works with a local veterinarian to ensure herd health through routine screenings.

Animals graze on rotational pastures and have access to a shelter built from repurposed barn timber, reflecting a focus on comfort and sustainable practices. Their feeding program combines traditional forage with a small proportion of grain to support consistent marbling without abrupt dietary changes. The farm began as a family homestead and nurtures a calm environment through low-stress handling and early socialization of calves.

Local chefs have noted the balance of flavor in the beef, reflecting the farm’s commitment to quality. Calves are introduced to handling routines before weaning, which supports ease of transition into later management practices. Attention to pasture health and soil conservation rounds out their stewardship approach.
