Rocky Forge Farm is the only American Wagyu farm in the Piedmont. Michael Jones is the 5th generation to reside on this family land, which was originally purchased in 1878. However, he did not become a farmer until 2018.
In 2017, Michael and Jodi Jones were celebrating a special occasion when they tried their first Wagyu ribeye. That experience inspired them to regenerate their family farm land, invest in a 100% Wagyu bull and a herd of Angus heifers to build their own American Wagyu stock.
When you visit Rocky Forge Farm, you will notice how lush and beautiful their pastures are. Excellent ranchers know that healthy forage mean healthy cows. The soil quality, the plant quality of the grass ensures healthy animals.
The Jones family will provide you with a personalized tour of their farm. Learn what makes Wagyu beef special. (No, it is not massaging cows that make them tender. The answer is far more evolutionary).
The farm tour is also the launch of Rocky Forge Farm’s new farm store which would allow local residents to buy directly from their farm.
