HARLEYSVILLE, PA — Nestled in the rolling hills of Montgomery County, Quarry Hill Farm presents its elite offering: American Wagyu beef. The 93-acre sustainable farmstead has achieved a culinary distinction, courtesy of the visionary zeal of the Perlman family.
David Perlman, a veteran real estate developer at the age of 68, embarked on a new venture in 2021 with his family. They bought the century-old farm, located a mere 30 miles from Philadelphia, and plunged into the livestock business. Their dual mission was clear: to supply ethically reared, superior quality beef, pork, poultry, and eggs to the local market while using profits to fight food insecurity in their community.
The decision to specialize in American Wagyu, a sophisticated and unique product, has drawn a diverse clientele, from local families to restaurants. This strategy aligns with Perlman’s aspiration of attracting customers to their premium offerings to increase proceeds and, by extension, help support those in need.
The Perlmans are dedicated to ethical farming practices and have spent nearly three years meticulously sourcing superior Wagyu breeding stock. Quarry Hill Farm boasts a cattle pedigree drawn from the finest Wagyu lineages across the nation. However, their commitment to organic practices, pasture-raised livestock, and genetics-enhanced Wagyu production sets them apart. Every cattle-rearing detail adheres to the highest ethical standards, leading Quarry Hill to be a beacon of exceptional quality in the community.
American Wagyu at Quarry Hill descends from the prized Japanese breed, renowned for its marbling effect, which lends the beef its signature silky texture and rich flavor. The farm’s 150-strong herd of full-blood Wagyu and Wagyu-Holstein crosses promises nothing less than the highest quality. The extraordinary flavor and tenderness of marbled Wagyu have earned it a spot on the menus of top chefs and discerning home cooks nationwide.
More than just exceptional taste, Quarry Hill Wagyu offers a variety of health benefits. Research suggests that Wagyu, with a higher ratio of mono-unsaturated to saturated fats and a minimal impact on cholesterol levels from its stearic acid content, might be a healthier choice compared to other breeds.
But, Quarry Hill isn’t just about Wagyu. The farm also breeds Berkshire pork from their homegrown pigs, pasture-raised chicken, turkey, and farm-fresh eggs, all grown sustainably and locally.
The Perlman’s commitment to the community does not stop at providing quality products. The farm established a non-profit that directs all profits to help the needy in the Philadelphia region. In 2021, Quarry Hill donated 100% of its profits to Manna on Main Street, a local initiative providing food and social services to the North Penn region. Further donations are planned to Philadelphia area food banks and shelters every year, staying true to their mission of feeding the community.
Quarry Hill welcomes customers to place their orders online, in person, or via phone. The farm offers free local delivery for orders of $100 or more and ships nationwide. Visits are encouraged seven days a week from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Visit Quarry Hill Farm to witness first-hand, how a passion for quality, sustainable farming, and community support converge to create a unique and rewarding experience.
