The pigs and poultry are also fed grains grown by a sheep farmer from the western end of the state.
The pair say they “strive to produce the most sustainable, healthy meat possible” through “extreme attention to care, comfort, nutrition and the quality of the animals.” To achieve this goal, their animals are pasture raised on a forage-based diet. Corbett soon began working with MacKay at his Christmas tree farm and traveling petting zoo, which led to the pair starting Lilac Hedge Farm together.īased in Berlin, about an hour west of Boston, the pair lease land in the surrounding area for a combined 275 acres of space for their Black Angus cattle, mixed breed pigs, Katahdin and Dorper sheep, chickens and turkeys that they raise from birth.
The two 25-year-olds had a vision to provide local, sustainably raised meats to residents of Eastern Massachusetts.Ĭorbett and MacKay met while employed on the same farm. Tom Corbett and Ryan MacKay were both still in college in 2011 when they began Lilac Hedge Farm, named for the dairy farm MacKay’s grandfather once owned.
