At Gillis Farm, we raise both Holstein and Dexter cattle — two very different breeds that each bring something special to your table.
Whether you’re looking for everyday family meals or a rich heritage beef experience, you can choose the share that fits your lifestyle best.
Experience the Gillis Farm difference.
Our Holstein cattle are grass and grain-fed, producing beef with exceptional tenderness, marbling, and rich flavor.
Holstein beef is naturally leaner, making it a smart choice for those who value healthier cuts without giving up taste. With every share, you get beef that’s high-quality, nutritious, and full of flavor — raised with care on our family farm.
We proudly raise Dexter cattle, a native Irish heritage breed perfectly suited to the terrain of Margaree Forks, Cape Breton.
Dexters are known for their hardiness and adaptability, thriving in our local environment to produce beef that is rich, flavorful, and naturally tender.
Their smaller, right-sized cuts are ideal for quick, delicious meals. With excellent marbling and juiciness, Dexter beef is a true taste of tradition — and a reflection of the land it’s raised on.
No matter which breed you choose, you’re getting premium, pasture-raised beef direct from our family farm.
