A Partnership Built on Excellence

Kingsbury Farms

Gerald and Mairead Mackle, founders of Kingsbury Farms, are seasoned entrepreneurs with a deep love and understanding of farming. Gerald’s background in agricultural innovation and renewable energy stretches back to the 1990s, when he invested in a ranch in Kingsbury, Texas, driven by a belief in a more sustainable farming future. Mairead founded and led Tarasis into national prominence, establishing award-winning ventures across health, social care, and community development. Their work is grounded in a shared belief: that business should serve both people and the planet. Véire, the wagyu brand of Kingsbury Farms, reflects that ethos.

We blend a deep rooted love of farming with decades of business expertise, uniting agricultural passion with entrepreneurial precision.

SEASONED ENTREPRENEURS

The Mackle family are the driving force behind Véire’s founding values — a rare combination of innovation, sustainability, and integrity. As the founders of Tarasis Enterprises, they’ve spent decades building businesses with long-term vision and deep social impact across healthcare, housing, renewable energy, and agriculture. Kingsbury Farms and Veire Wagyu represent courage, innovation, and vision in the premium beef sector. We have invested several million pounds in nutrition programs, genetic selection, and premium animal stock to deliver a product that is an exceptional, unique product.

SEASONED FARMERS

It is the latest expression of their commitment to meaningful, values-led enterprise — a premium Irish Wagyu brand built on regenerative practices, net carbon-zero ambitions, and circular systems that turn waste into renewable energy. To realise this vision, the Mackles collaborated with experts in ruminant nutrition, meat quality, and supply chain integration. Together, they are developing beef that is rich in healthy omega-3s, consistently marbled, and raised with an uncompromising commitment to animal welfare and environmental stewardship.
