Our Story
Angus Farm is first company that implemented the 100% Grass-Fed raising system in Romania.
The Farmer
Stefan Barbulescu is a new generation farmer, with a deep interest, knowledge and experience in organic and regenerative farming methods.
When Stefan started farming, his goal was simple - to produce the healthiest and the tastiest meat available on the market, in a way his grandfather Joseph taught him.
Stefan combines traditional methods of farming, learnt growing up, with more modern holistic grazing practises to enhance the soils and enrich the environment.
Stefan´ s goal has always been to produce a meat of quality, which is 100% traceable and on complete transparency on the way they are being produced. His efforts have not only been appreciated by the international clients he is serving, but also by the local press and Television.
Wild Romania
Romania is one of the Europe’s last wild places, with the largest level of biodiversity, virgin forests, mountains and natural springs. A place, where ancient community is living in close harmony with nature, surrounded by the Carpathian mountains.
The Farm
We are a boutique - scale regenerative farm, nestled in a beautiful valley in the foothills of the Romanian Carpathian mountains. Located within a few hours drive from the capital Bucharest, Valea Marea village translates as “The Big Valley” and it is not far from the little town owned by the Prince of Wales.
Hundreds of years of small-scale, chemical -free agriculture is entirely responsible for the high biodiversity and wildlife in this area.
Surrounded by ancient oak forest, the meadows and pastures are full of wild bees, butterflies, insects and healing herbs. Over 300 species and six natural water springs to be found in wild meads, where the cattle graze herbal- rich Carpathian meadows which later turns into one of a kind, “walnut -alike” tasting meat.
90% of the beef produced in the farm is being purchased by Michelin star restaurants abroad.
