FARMS WE WORK WITH
Six generations ago, John Langenfelder emigrated from Germany in the late 1840’s and settled in Baltimore County, Maryland. At first, the small family farm produced vegetables and raised animals for his family’s use. To supplement their income during the Great Depression, the family began to raise extra pigs and sell the meat to neighbors and friends. To meet the demand, more pigs were raised and the Langenfelder family farm gradually evolved from growing vegetables to raising animals and field crops. Thirty years ago, Dutch and Pat Langenfelder and their children, Jennifer, Bill and Kristen, the 5th and 6th generations, relocated the family farm to Kent County on Maryland’s Eastern Shore to continue the legacy.
In 1986, Ed Burchell embarked on what he thought would be the beginning of his retirement. He bought a quiet farm tucked in the hills of Monkton, Maryland. Bought a few cows to graze the property, so that he wouldn’t even have to mow the grass.It didn’t take long for Ed to start thinking more seriously about his cows. He quickly became convinced that, with care and attention, he could create a better-tasting product.Ed met cattle expert, Dean Bryant in 1996, and with that, Roseda Farm was born. Dean taught Ed the essential elements of raising cattle for juiciness and tenderness. He proved that with the right genetics, the right feeding, and the right watering and health practices, you could breed cattle that were superior from pasture to plate.
