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 Enterprises 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, bringing agricultural knowledge and entrepreneurial to every cut we produce.

To realise this vision, Gerald has worked alongside experts in ruminant nutrition, meat quality, and supply chain integration, developing beef that is rich in healthy omega-3s, consistently marbled, and raised with an uncompromising commitment to animal welfare and environmental stewardship.
