About White Rock Farm:
Our farm, White Rock Farm, is located in the picturesque town of Little Compton, RI along the Sakonnet River. It’s been in the family for 5 generations, with the 7th generation now growing up on the farm.
Originally, the farm was a dairy farm until the late 1990s. In 2014, after many years of being away, Nelson “Rusty” Cabot and his wife, Erin, moved back to Little Compton to run a beef farm.
Today, we raise our own animals from birth. They are 100% pasture raised, grass-fed, and grass-finished. We utilize rotational grazing to make the most of natural methods to optimize the health of the animals and the pastures. We also grow, harvest and bale our own hay, so we can be assured of the quality being fed to the cattle during the cold season when grass is not available. They also happen to have the most wonderful view in the entire town.
We believe in raising our animals humanely. We start handling them from birth to lower stress. We have a vet available should the animals need them.
Our goal is to produce the best quality of grass-fed, grass-finished beef that has been humanely raised. We are already teaching the 7th generation what we know and are hoping that they will want to continue raising cattle.
