Pastured Products Directory - New Hampshire
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. Arbutus Hill Farm, 150

Brookfield Farm. The Gowdy family at Brookfield Farm has been raising Angus cross cattle since 1994. Our beef cattle are finished on our pastures, dry hay, and the balage that we round bale ourselves. We are certified organic, and have been since 2001. We 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 Sea Coast in 1992, settling first near Walpole Massachusetts, and then moving to Walpole New Hampshire. Starting with five angus cows and their heifers we grew our beef herd to twenty five brood cows. In the last few years we have made some changes, diversified; we still have about five beef cows, but are milking twenty Normandy Cross cows, raise some lamb on pasture, and have a herd of Boer Goats. We sell our grass fed meats (100% grass fed beef, lamb, meadow veal, and boer goat meat) by the retail cut, quarter or side. You can purchase one nice steak or fifty pounds of burger, or other types and cuts depending on availability. Come visit the farm, or you can purchase our products at the Walpole Farmers Market, Fridays from May – October on the Walpole, NH Common. Please give us a call, leave us a message, or send an email. We look forward to hearing from you. Brookfield Farm, Holly and Christian Gowdy, 460

Udall Road, Francestown NH 03043. (603) 547-6464. Schoolhouse Farm is a small pasture-based farm located in Tamworth, New Hampshire. We manage a flock of grass-fed registered Icelandic sheep that are bred for sale as either breeding stock or for meat. Our animals rotationally graze on fertile pasture from early spring through late fall. In winter months the flock is fed mixed grass, alfalfa and legume hay from our own hayfields. We do not feed any hay or forage that we didn't grow and harvest ourselves. We are very attentive to our animals and our fields and are consistently striving to improve the quality of both. As Gene Logsdon writes in All Flesh is Grass, the quality of our meat is only as good as the quality of our pastures. We only apply mineral and soil amendments that are approved for organic certification when necessary and depend primarily upon our own bulk compost to enrich the soil and restore vital nutrients. We regularly monitor lab results of soil samples and hay/forage samples to determine nutrient composition and assist us in determining which fields are in need of supplementation. A no-till conservation seeder is used to overseed our fields with a wide variety of grasses, legumes, brassica and forbs. Our goal is to provide a very diversified diet of plants that primitive ruminants would have grazed in the wild. We never use any chemical fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides or preservatives on our fields or dry forage. The sheep are provided with free choice minerals and kelp mix throughout the year, and newborn lambs are given a booster of selenium and vitamin E shortly after birth. We never use any growth hormones, unnecessary antibiotics or other invasive treatments to our flock. Instead, clean water, fresh air and nutritious pastures are all we really need to support healthy contented animals. Lamb is available in frozen cryovac packages. We sell only whole carcass quality, which usually averages between 40 and 50 pounds of packaged lamb. Custom cut sheets are available, or we can suggest popular choices. Please visit our website for more information about our meat sales, hay, compost, or other products. Thank you. Norman and Wendy. Schoolhouse Farm, Norman Cloutier, 1870
Cleveland Hill Road, Tamworth NH 03886. Steve Normanton: I am originally from South Africa, where I worked in the livestock trade the conventional, agribusiness way. Here in New England, I have raised grass-fed beef for over ten years, with a focus on sustainability and holistic principles. I now raise pastured pork, pastured chicken, pastured eggs, and 100% grass-fed beef on 65 acres on the banks of the Merrimack River. My pastures are certified organic by the State of New Hampshire. My cattle graze on pasture throughout the growing season, and I feed them certified organic hay in the winter. They are never fed corn or other grain, even for “handling” purposes. I sell beef in bulk and by the cut. I harvest my cattle when they have reached their full potential of quality, which means the largest quantities are available in the fall. Therefore, I recommend pre-ordering for fall delivery. All my beef is USDA-inspected and flash-frozen. My pigs live and forage outdoors, and I supplement their diet with organic formulated pig grain. My pork is harvested in the fall, and is available in bulk and by the cut as long as supplies last. All my pork is USDA-inspected and flash-frozen. I raise my meat chickens outdoors on pasture in a day-range system, which allows them to forage for bugs and living plants. I supplement their diet with organic formulated chicken grain. I process the birds on-farm (exempt from USDA inspection) June through October. I sell fresh or frozen whole chickens (i.e. plucked and cleaned but not cut up into parts). My laying hens, like the meat chickens, forage outdoors on pasture in the growing season, and also get organic formulated layer grain. Eggs are available year-round. Please visit my web site for current pricing, ordering information, and more details about my farming practices. Steve Normanton, 226

As the children grew and married, John gave them land to homestead. The land was purchased by The Historic Pine Grove Springs Hotel on Lake Spofford. During the late 1800s through the beginning of the twentieth century, it provided the vegetables, beef and lamb required for what was a famous and successful summer vacation destination for city folks up and down the East Coast, from New York and Boston. So, bring the children to visit with the animals and pick some blueberries or take a hike down to see the beaver pond. We would love to have you. The 1780 Farm, LLC., Jeanny and Richard Aldrich,
