King & I Angus is back!

King & I Angus is owned and operated by Dennis and Sara Wilk. After almost 30 years in the food industry, in 2000 we started our farm with 171 acres and have grown to over 300 acres today. Our mission is to be the most progressive Angus breeder in the state with our cattle producing tremendous calves for the beef industry. Our herd has grown from thoroughly researched Black Angus Stock that maximizes efficient, top quality beef production. King & I Angus offspring are in high demand, resulting in the presence of our cattle in numerous herds in Maine and 13 other states nationwide. Our program's continuous advancements mean that our customers are able to buy restaurant quality Black Angus Beef.

100% BLACK ANGUS?
We currently are the only farm in the Northeast to offer 100% Black Angus Beef.
If you purchase just "Angus" you do not know how much of that beef actually is Angus.

All Natural Feeding: Cattle graze on our pastures and are never given any growth hormones, antibiotics or animal by products. We are grass fed based, our hay or bailage comes from our land.
Water: Fresh from a drilled well on the property and then piped to each field they graze.
Vitamins & Minerals: Free choice, always.

We do not buy from any outside source. All our calves are born and raised on our farm. You can have confidence in flavor, quality and the knowledge that you are purchasing 100% Angus.
KING & I COMFORT FOODS
King & I Comfort Foods are created by Sara Wilk, using many old family recipes passed down from her grandmothers, friends, and Mom. Any item with a name like, Ruby’s Raisin Filled Cookies, have been given the name of their original creator. We only use the freshest butter, cheeses, creams, and other ingredients.
