The following farms and ranches have certified
that they meet Eatwild's
criteria for producing grassfed meat, eggs and dairy products.
Contact them directly for additional information or to buy their
products:
Arbutus Hill Farm offers naturally
raised meats and organic vegetables. It is 50 acres of fields
and forest, a certified Tree Farm. It is a small operation, just
me. I have a Masters in Environmental Resource Management so
my respect in caring for my land is a major priority. It is my
home and sanctuary.
I raise grass-fed beef, and lamb as
well as pork. The pigs are fed grain, are on pasture, receive
a steady flow of weeds from the garden and cracked corn. I sell
meat by the retail cut or families can buy whole or half animals.
I began farming in 1994 at the ripe age of
43 wishing to raise my own food. I have become better at farming
over the years and am self-sustaining. Arbutus Hill Farm meats & veggies
are carried by several local stores, are featured in two local
farmers markets and enjoy a solid repeat customer base.
I sell
meat and garlic year round and in 2007 added a greenhouse hoping
to extend my growing season. It is a blessing, but also a major
learning curve. So this spring I hope to have an early crop of
lettuce, spinach, kale.

Brookfield
Farm. The Gowdy family at Brookfield Farm has been raising Angus
cross cattle since 1994. Our cattle are finished on our own grass—mixed
legume pastures and/or forage that we make ourselves. We are certified
organic and are convinced that our cattle are happier and healthier
than ever before.
We bought our first cow-calf pairs on our honeymoon
trip along the New Hampshire seacoast about 15 years ago, and finally
moved to Cheshire County about 10 years ago, from near Boston. We
brought five brood cows and their heifers with us. We have slowly
been saving our best heifers as replacements. Now we maintain a
cow herd of about 20 cows, their calves, and some yearlings and
feeders.
We sell our beef a variety of ways: by
the side or quarter, individual packages, and/or small orders ranging
from 50 to 100 pounds. We also sell our meat at the Farmers Market
in Bellows Falls, Vermont.
We invite you to contact us if you are interested
in high quality, grass fed and organically grown beef. Please call,
leave a message, or contact us via e-mail. We look forward to hearing
from you.

At Green Ledge Farm we specialize in
certified organic grass fed beef from our herd
of Belted Galloway cattle. Both our herd
and our hayfields are certified organic by the State of New Hampshire
Dept. of Agriculture. This guarantees that our animals are
never given antibiotics, growth hormones or other pharmaceuticals.
We do not use chemical fertilizers, herbicides or pesticides
on our fields or on our animals. Our cattle are 100% grass-fed
on rotationally grazed organic fields in pasture season and fed
100% certified organic hay in winter.
Belted Galloways are an important heritage
breed meant to live outdoors. Thick fur coats mean they choose
our accessible shelters only in the worst weather. Fresh
air and the great outdoors keep our animals robust, happy and healthy.
The genetics of our beef animals is a key to producing an animal
that finishes well on grass alone.
We offer our certified organic grass fed beef
by the whole or side cut to your specifications and delivered to
the Southern NH and northern Massachusetts areas. Please visit
our website for more information.

Rocky Meadow
Farm is the home of a small herd of solid color Galloways. We
provide grass fed, grass-finished beef raised in an animal
friendly environment, free of hormones, artificial food additives,
animal byproducts, or unnecessary antibiotics. Our animals graze
exclusively on our own pastures, which we have planted ourselves
with a seed mixture to provide optimal nutrition.
The meat is processed at an USDA-inspected plant,
and is sold by whole carcass or sides, where customers can specify
preferred meat cut selection or by smaller mixed boxes of various
cuts.

Steve Normanton Beef. I am from South
Africa, where I worked in the livestock trade the conventional,
agribusiness way. Then I traveled the world looking for a better
way, and found it here in New England, where I learned about sustainable
farming and holistic principles.
I now raise 100% grass-fed beef on
65 acres of prime, river-bottom farmland on the banks of the Merrimack
River. My cattle have never tasted soy, corn, corn silage, brewer’s
grain, or any other kind of concentrated grain. I do not even use
grain for “handling” them.
In the spring, summer, and fall I rotate my cattle every day to
a new paddock of fresh pasture. In the winter, I feed them dry
and wrapped round bales of hay. I do not treat my cattle with hormones
or antibiotics. My pastures are certified organic by the State
of New Hampshire. This holistic management system is healthy for
the animals, for the soil, for the environment, and for society.
All my beef is USDA-inspected and flash-frozen. I sell year-round,
either in bulk or by the cut. Please visit my web site for current
pricing, ordering, and delivery information, as well as for recipes
and for farm news.
