Welcome to Arlington's Natural Meats where we sell Angus beef and Duroc pork raised on our farm directly to you. We are committed to humanely raising animals. Everything we sell is born and raised on our farm, so you can rest assured that our meats are hormone, antibiotic, and animal by-product free.

You can find us at local farmers' markets and at "special delivery" sites throughout the DelMarVa region. Our convenient on-line pre-ordering makes pick-up easy on market day. Or, for those with large freezers or large groups of like-minded friends, you may want to consider "cowpooling". A whole beef can divided for up to six families, all separately boxed, and delivered to a location of your choosing anywhere within 100 miles of our farm.

Whether you try one of our family or variety packages or buy a few hamburgers to grill this weekend, we're certain you will agree that being part of the local food movement by "eating where you live" is delicious.

I'm Candy Anderson. Farmer, mother, and the founder of Arlington's Natural Meats. I love animals and I always have. I was born and raised in Somerset County and grew up on my family's farm with Angus cows everywhere! I learned how to drive by driving the truck in the hay field. I fell in love with a farmer. His family has owned and operated Arlington since 1911. Four generations have lived and worked on this land, producing corn, soybeans, wheat, milk, poultry, and livestock. We have worked together operating the farm since 1989 and started renovating the main house (circa 1750) in 1998. I started Arlington's Natural Meats in 2003, because, I was looking for a way to increase the profitability of the farming operation and allow me to stay on the farm and raise our children. I was reading a lot about organics and direct marketing and am still on that journey. In addition to raising hogs and cattle, my husband and I have been busy raising five farmers. We think it's important that our children have had the experience of growing the food they eat. Our older ones are active in our local 4H, and have won several awards between them. Maybe one of them will grow up to become the fifth generation in our family to farm this land.
