Our Story

Milburn Farmstead was founded in 2024 by Stephen and Tierra Milburn. Stephen is a 5th generation farmer in Cecil County, MD. Farming is in Stephen’s blood, a craft passed down through decades of working the land and understanding the rhythms of the seasons. In 2023, Stephen and Tierra decided to branch off from the traditional path to build something uniquely their own. They envisioned a farmstead that didn't just yield a harvest, but actively healed the ground it stood upon. Within a year, Milburn Farmstead was born. 

Milburn Farmstead is a highly intentional and regenerative eight-acre operation where quality outweighs quantity. We believe that a micro-farm allows for a level of stewardship that industrial operations simply cannot match. By focusing our energy on this concentrated footprint, we ensure that every animal is raised with dignity and every hive is managed with care.

Our Philosophy: Exceptional Flavor is Rooted in Stewardship

We specialize in pasture-raised poultry and hogs, and artisanal bee products, all managed through regenerative farming practices. For us, regenerative isn't a buzzword, it is a promise.

Rotational Grazing: Our livestock move frequently to fresh pasture, naturally fertilizing the soil while enjoying a diverse, species-appropriate diet.

Biodiversity: By integrating poultry, hogs, berries, and honeybees, we create a closed-loop ecosystem where each species supports the health of the other. 

Soil Health: Everything we do starts beneath our feet. Healthy soil creates nutrient-dense forage, which results in cleaner, more flavorful food for your table.


From Our Family to Yours
When you choose Milburn Farmstead, you aren’t just buying local meat and honey; you are participating in the restoration of our local food system. Stephen and Tierra are proud to carry the Milburn name into a new era, one where traditional wisdom meets modern ecological restoration.

We invite you to taste the difference that intentional stewardship and a commitment to the future can make.
