It has a one-mile border with the Monocacy River, which flows to the Potomac River and then to the Chesapeake Bay. From their forage program to Angus genetics to their log cabin direct-market store, the farm also aims to serve as a model for sustainable beef production and environmental stewardship. It is unlike most beef operations in many ways. Hedgeapple Farm sits just north of Buckeystown, Md., and is an easy drive from the Baltimore-Washington, D.C., metro area.

Scott Barao oversees Hedgeapple Farm, which markets beef from about 150 grass-fed and finished head per year.
