Braglio Farms

What Braglio Farms does

Braglio Farms is a fifth-generation family-owned farm founded in 1962 by Joseph "Poppa Joe" Braglio and his son Wayne in Woodstock, Maryland, now operating from a primary 10519 Marriottsville Road site in Randallstown, MD (Baltimore County) across a three-farm footprint. The company breeds Charolais/Limousine and Charolais/Angus cross cattle and sources additional pork, poultry, and seasonal produce from its own herds and trusted local partner farms, finishing meats to USDA-PRIME guidelines with flash-freezing for freshness and a no-hormones, no-antibiotics positioning. Roman Braglio, a 2016 University of Maryland Agricultural Economics graduate, leads current operations.

The business monetizes through a diversified consumer-facing portfolio that includes an on-farm Country Store, an e-commerce Online Market (market.bragliofarms.com on Shopify) with free pickup or shipping, a hardwood firewood delivery service, home delivery, the Sundaes Ice Cream Shoppe (sourcing from Cajou Creamery and Taharka Brothers), a venue rental and catering operation for weddings, corporate events, and private celebrations, and a three-truck mobile food fleet — Smokehouse Trailer, Smokin' Dough Pizza Truck, and Burgers and Buns — operating on-site Food Truck Fridays and off-site catering Monday through Wednesday from April to December. Seasonal events (Tomato Fest, Cider and Strings music festival, Halloween Trail, Holiday Night Market, Winter Wonderland, Plated Field Dinner) and weekend lunch service drive on-property traffic.

The Braglio family vertically integrates the farm with related-party hospitality assets, including The Woodstock Inn (operating since 1934) and Braglio Farms Smokehouse, creating an internal farm-to-table offtake channel. Distribution is single-country/domestic, scoped primarily to Maryland and Baltimore County, executed through retail, e-commerce, food trucks, farmers markets, social (Facebook/Instagram), the corporate website, and direct email at [email protected]. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; catering is quote-based and bundle-box retail follows market pricing.
