About Sillanpaa Family Farm

Sillanpaa Family Farm raises South Devon cattle in New Vineyard, Maine, a small farming community in the foothills of western Maine, roughly an hour north of Augusta. Alex and Shannon Sillanpaa operate the farm under a "locally grown, respectfully raised" philosophy, with an emphasis on pasture-based, heritage-breed husbandry and a strong aversion to hormones, routine antibiotics, and additives.

The farm is listed with the American Milking Devon Cattle Association, reflecting the Sillanpaas' engagement with breed stewardship at the national level. Alongside their South Devon cattle program, the farm also keeps Wyandotte chickens and raises Hereford and Hereford-cross pigs and Horned Dorset sheep, making it a diversified small-farm operation. Animals born on the property are raised outdoors alongside their peers from birth.

For those seeking South Devon cattle for sale in Maine, Sillanpaa Family Farm represents one of a small number of operations in the state working with this heritage British breed on a family-scale, pasture-based farm.
