About Us

Bainbridge Beef is a product of the Smith Ranch located in Asheboro, North

Carolina. Owned by Gil and Dr. Lori Bain-Smith. The Ranch has been in Lori's family for Forty Two years and in 2022 it was purchased by Gil and Lori to continue the farming legacy of the Bain family here in North Carolina. The land that makes up the Smith Ranch has been worked for nearly two centuries. Gil's office is in one of the original homesteads and dates back to the mid 1870's. Other buildings on the farm are 50 years older. The manor house and main residence was built in 1920. 

  

While Gil managed to marry the farmer's daughter he grew up around farming in Western Maryland and Vermont gaining experience with Horses, Dairy Cattle, Nursery Management and all the skills to keep a place running. He's a retired Naval Officer, Chief Hospital Corpsman, and has served as a Deputy Assistant Secretary at USDA. Both Gil and Lori are healthcare professionals when they aren't running the ranch.
