Cold Spring Ranch
North New Portland, ME

At its inception in 1880, Cold Spring Ranch operated as a diverse livestock operation in Western Maine. After operating as a dairy from the 1950's until the mid 90's, Gabe Clark started raising grass-fed beef on his 240-acre ranch. Today, Cold Spring encompasses five ranches where Gabe grazes Angus cattle. The cattle roam freely throughout their lives. Gabe also focuses on supporting his local economy with his all-Maine based company.

Grass-fed beef from Cold Spring Ranch is available in our store in Maine.
