Smith Family Ranch
Also known as: Smith Ranch Milanville
A family-operated ranch in Milanville, Pennsylvania (Wayne County), on the Upper Delaware River, producing grass-fed beef and pasture-raised pork. One of several Wayne County small-livestock operations using rotational grazing and direct-to-consumer sales to remain viable on commodity-meat economics that have collapsed for most peers.

What they raise
- [[grass-fed|Grass-fed beef]] — full lifecycle on pasture, no grain finishing
- Pasture-raised pork — outdoor-access pork, direct sales
Why it matters
[[grass-fed|Grass-fed beef]] and pasture-raised pork are the meat-side equivalent of the small-farm vegetable model: they require direct-to-consumer relationships to be economically viable. The Smith Family Ranch operates that model on the Upper [[harrington-delaware|Delaware]] River edge of the bioregion — ground that connects to the larger Delaware Highlands Conservancy protection mosaic and to the New York-side Catskill foothills.
For [[directory|the directory]]:
- Pasture-livestock substrate-builder — the bioregion needs more of these as ag land transitions from commodity-dairy to diversified pasture-livestock
- Upper [[harrington-delaware|Delaware]] geography — the bioregion’s far northeastern edge
