Rooted in the Land, Raised with Care

White Rock Farm, is located in the picturesque town of Little Compton, RI along the Sakonnet River. It’s been in the family for 5 generations, with the 7th generation now growing up on the farm.

From Dairy to Beef

Originally, the farm was a dairy farm until the late 1990s. In 2014, after many years of being away, Nelson “Rusty” Cabot and his wife, Erin, moved back to Little Compton and decided to run a beef farm.

Today, we raise our own animals from birth. They are 100% pasture raised, grass-fed, and grass-finished. We utilize rotational grazing to make the most of natural methods to optimize the health of the animals and the pastures. Our cattle roam coastal grasses from spring through fall, and winter on hay that we cut and bale ourselves. No feedlots. No hormones. No antibiotics. Just beef the way nature intended.

The Cattleman’s Day

From before sunrise to after dark, raising grass-fed beef the right way is a rhythm of small, steady work. Here is what a day looks like at White Rock Farm.

Sunrise to Sundown

Placeholder copy — final text to come. The morning begins with a walk of the herd and a fresh paddock; grass-fed cattle are moved often so the pasture and the animals both stay healthy. Water is checked, fences are walked, and the day’s hay is set out in the cold months.

Midday is for the land — rotating grazing, mending what the weather broke, and keeping records that back our USDA Certified Grass Fed claim. Evening brings moving the herd to a new paddock and one last check of the cattle before dark. No feedlots, no shortcuts — just five generations of doing it by hand.
