NY 14541. (607) 869-3879. Beartown Farms supplies healthy grass fed lamb and beef. We are situated in the ‘lake effect’ zone east of Lake Ontario - an outstanding location for a grass farm. Forty inches of rain, cool summers, and water holding soils enable us to grow excellent forages without chemical fertilizers or herbicides. With more than 650 acres of meadows and pastures, the sun provides all the energy required to sustain our farm operations. In order to efficiently manage the land for our animals, we practice rotational grazing and harvest all of our winter feed as hay and grass silage. The farm is home to more than 500 Dorp-Croix hair sheep and 125 Angus cattle. Our lamb is for people who don’t normally like lamb, as there is no wool lanolin taste to the meat, and Angus beef is among the best. Sustainable agriculture and healthy grass-fed lamb and beef – it doesn’t get better than that. Try some for yourself. Our farm grown lamb and beef are USDA inspected, custom cut and vacuum packaged. Cows are sold by the whole, half and split quarters and lamb by the whole. You can contact us to order or arrange a delivery directly to specific locations within the northern New York region.

Mountain View Drive, Willsboro NY 12996. (518) 963-7447. Bennington Beefalo is a family business located in the green hills of Wyoming County in western New York State. Beefalo, like their relatives the American Bison, thrive on the grasses and various legumes found in our pastures. We try to provide as much green grass, fresh air and sunshine as possible to our animals by employing rotational grazing to provide them with a fresh salad bar eating experience. This menu of grasses helps to provide our meat with more flavor and nutrition than found in conventional grain fed, feedlot beef from the supermarkets. Our animals are raised without implants, antibiotics, hormones and in most cases, no grain feeding. Various studies have shown that Beefalo is higher in protein, and lower in fat, cholesterol and calories than other meats and poultry. It is tender and tasty and cooks in less time than regular beef, with less shrinkage due to its lower fat content. Our meats are processed in a USDA federally inspected packing house. They are dry aged in a cooler for two weeks to promote tenderness and a good eating experience. They are then cut and wrapped to your specifications and frozen, ready for your freezer and eating enjoyment. Available by the side, split half, or 50-pound mini pack. If you have any questions or want information regarding current prices and available pick up dates, please phone us. We also offer a variety of handcrafted soaps made from Beefalo tallow and other fine oils. Bennington Beefalo, Bob and Kathy Ott,

name and At Bird’s Hollow, we believe in treating our animals humanely with a kind and caring attitude and a touch of love.

We use alternative, environmentally friendly, and sustainable food production models that allow us to feed our own family, as well as those in the local community who allow us to grow their food right next to ours. We care about what goes into our food and how our animals are treated and raised. We believe that every animal should be raised in the most natural setting possible. We utilize "organic" (and beyond) methods but are not certified organic. The only "insecticides" on our pastures are our laying hens and broiler chickens. Our only fertilizer is from our natural compost and from the back end of the cow, sheep, lamb, chicken, turkey, rabbit, or pig that is standing on the pasture when nature calls. We are a seasonal farm offering eggs from hens that are "modified" free-range (they are protected from predators with a net fence and an eggmobile that moves around on pasture), pastured poultry broilers (White Cornish Cross and Heritage Red Cornish), pastured turkeys (Big Breasted White and Heritage Bourbon Reds), pastured rabbit (New Zealand and Californian), Katahdin lambs, and Heritage Hereford pigs. Our products are available directly on the farm, at the Sharon Springs Farmers Market, and at Mildred's Meadows. Our chicken is available on the menu at The American Hotel in Sharon Springs.

Flying Pigs Farm offers pork chops, tenderloin, roasts, bacon, ham and Sun-Dried Tomato and Chardonnay Sausage. Our pork is much more moist and flavorful than supermarket meat. It's different because we raise heritage breeds of pigs the old-fashioned way. The pigs are raised outdoors in the fresh air and sunshine, with plenty of room to roam on our fields and in our woods. Because they have so much space and because we move them often, the land stays clean and the pigs stay healthy. The pigs snack on grass, weeds, and roots that grow on our land, and they also eat dried, ground grains. Our pigs are "Large Blacks," Glouestershire Old Spots," and "Tamworths," old-fashioned breeds in danger of extinction. It may seem odd to use these breeds for pork because they are so rare, but they will not survive unless a market for these animals can be created. Breeders can then afford to expand their herds and expand the population. We ship across the country. Look for us in the spring and fall at the Grand Army Plaza and Tribeca Greenmarkets in New York City. Visitors are welcome to pitch in at our fledgling farm on the Battenkill—but please call first!

We are not "certified" organic, but that is the way we operate. We sell Grass Fed Freezer Beef as custom slaughter by whole or halves. If a half is too much, find a partner or group to split it with. A typical half from a 30-month-old animal will have a hanging weight from 225 to 300 pounds. We do custom slaughter only in the fall to take full advantage of fattening the animals on the lush fall grasses. Highlanders are an exceptional beef animal, but they grow a little slower than the popular commercial breeds. We think this slower growth results in superior flavor. It is our conviction that we can produce a high quality, healthy product at a lower cost than grain fed animals, and we are pricing the hanging weights accordingly. Please email for current prices. Cattle are taken to a USDA inspected slaughterhouse where they are custom processed to your request, wrapped and frozen. To be legal, you must pick up your frozen packages at the slaughterhouse, with Saturday mornings being a convenient time. We have received many requests for Grass Fed ground beef and are trying to satisfy those requests. This year, we will slaughter at least one steer for 100% ground. This will not need to be seasonal in the future. It will be a premium product with the steaks, roasts and all the prime cuts included in the grind. To sell ground beef legally from a custom slaughter, we need to sell a fractional portion (maybe 1/8th) of the animal, but would price it, fully processed, picked up frozen at the slaughterhouse, for $4/pound packaged weight; discounts are available for larger quantities. Grass fed ground beef makes an exceptional hamburger, with no waste, and seems to be more in demand than any prime cut. One-eighth of an animal will yield about 40 pounds of top quality ground beef. If you are interested in the ground beef, please send an email, as emails are the preferred way to contact us.

Golden Hill Farms goes to grass finished beef. Golden Hill Farms is in northwest Pennsylvania, about 40 miles south of Erie, 80 miles north of Pittsburgh, and about 2 hours from both Cleveland and Buffalo. We are 4 miles east of I-79 off exit 141. For over 25 years we at have been producing and selling top quality show cattle, with the remaining calves being sold to feedlots for grain finishing. Since we are a grass and hay farm, this year we decided to keep 30 of our top feeders to finish on grass. During much of this time we have also operated a meat processing plant. The animals in this program will be slaughtered under federal inspection and we will be processing the meat ourselves, in our facility on our farm. Additionally, the only meat we will be processing will be our grass fed beef. This year the grass finished cattle will have an average dressed weight of 600–700 pounds. They will be sold by the half (300–350 pounds) or in bundles. We have designed seven different bundles that we hope will meet everyone's needs. The contents and price of each can be seen on our website.

Good Grass Farm is located in the beautiful rolling hills of Chautauqua County, NY. We purchased our house and land on Open Meadows Road in 1999. It was a bit dilapidated, to say the least, but we could see the potential and sense the warmth of this once vibrant dairy farm as we walked through the empty rooms of the old house and hiked the over grown pastures. We started slow, growing good produce and raising chickens and turkeys for our family and friends that desired the same high quality, all natural products we wanted for ourselves. As we progress, we continue to embrace the basic philosophy that simple is best. We currently produce pasture raised broiler chickens, brown eggs, and heritage and broad breasted turkeys. Broiler chickens are available June through September. Turkeys are available for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Eggs are available year round. Blueberries and produce are available starting mid July. This summer we are expanding to include grass fed beef. All of our products are grown without the use of antibiotics, hormones, pesticides, herbicides, or chemical fertilizers.

Most of our sales are done at Farmers Markets in Buffalo and from our Farm Store; we offer a self service option if we are not home.

Locustbrae is a family owned and operated grass farm selling, since 1978, the highest quality pasture-raised beef. Our goal is to bring healthy, flavorful beef to our customers in the Northeast while maintaining a self-sufficient, ecologically sensible operation committed to perfection. The Scottish Highland breed has proven to be exceptionally well suited to transform our lush Western New York grasses into beef the way nature intended. We feel that by being stewards of these cattle while allowing them to be the natural stewards of their grassland has made Locustbrae an efficient, sustainable provider of high quality beef and breeding stock. Highlands are smaller, slower-developing cattle than most commercial breeds and are listed as “Recovering” by the American Livestock Breeds Conservancy. Long, heavy hair and a thick skin give them the ability to weather harsh winters without developing excess body fat. The result is a lightly marbled, low fat, low cholesterol beef. Locustbrae Highlands spend their lives on lush pasture foraging on clover, orchard grass, trefoil and other native grasses. They also prefer a higher portion of “browse” (brush and weeds) than most breeds, minimizing the need for pasture mowing. Healthy
food is good for the body and good for the land. Grass fed
cattle effectively transfer natural forages into nutritious beef without
the need for environmentally costly antibiotics, pesticides, or chemically
grown feeds. All Locustbrae beef is cut and packed at a locally owned and operated, USDA certified facility providing custom dry-aging, and vacuum packaging. Locustbrae Farm Scottish Highland beef can be purchased in quantities large or small and shipping can be arranged within a 100 mile radius of Alfred, NY. We are located just 15 miles from the New York/Pennsylvania border. Locustbrae Farm, Fion and Kimberly MacCrea, 6404

We feed them locally grown and mixed grain that is free from antibiotics and hormones. We raise two varieties. For our broilers, which average between four and five pounds, we have chosen Kosher Kings. These highly active birds are outstanding foragers. Their meat is therefore darker and more flavorful than that of standard birds. Our popular Cornish Cross roasters may reach 9 pounds. Many of our customers serve them for Thanksgiving. Our birds are available at the end of September and the end of October. They must be reserved in advance, so write or call. Long Days Farm, Debby Jaffe and Edwin

Maple Hill farm is family-owned and operated, with Caroline Foote, Victor Putnam, and their two sons at the helm. They love what they do and it shows. Victor, a fifth generation maple producer, built the farm from scratch and relocated the family maple business there in 1982. The maple products can be purchased online through their website, by phone, e-mail, or in person at their country store. Gift sets with a wide variety of options are available and those can be shipped anywhere. They look forward to meeting your sweet needs! Maple Hill Farm Enterprises, LLC., Caroline

Melody Springs Farm specializes in raising grass-fed Hereford and Hereford-Angus cross beef cows in a natural stress-free environment. Our cows do not receive any kind of antibiotic or hormone treatment and are fed and finished on pastures which are completely chemical-free. Our pastures are meticulously maintained, and we employ rotational grazing to provide optimal nutrition for our herd. Melody Springs Farm is located in beautiful Schoharie County just outside the village of Sharon Springs, New York. It is comprised of 125 acres of hay fields, pastures and woods on an escarpment overlooking the Mohawk Valley. We have painstakingly brought this former dairy farm back from a fate that has befallen so many like it—reverting to scrub land or becoming yet another development. We view this as our contribution towards Central New York’s agricultural heritage and the resurgence of the old-fashioned family farm. We offer whole, half, and split-side beef. We also offer brown eggs and chickens (broilers) for meat. All of our chickens are free-ranging. Feel free to visit us by appointment. Melody Springs Farm, JoAnne and Constantin, 195

Peeters Road, Schenevus, NY 12155. (607) 638-5758. New York Beef Company, LLC. At the New York Beef Company we had two goals: to raise beef that would yield the finest, most succulent cuts available and at the same time be one of the healthiest foods one can eat. Many would consider these goals an impossible paradox. But our 100% grass-fed, all-natural beef is completely free of antibiotics, hormone implants and by-products. The life of each animal is totally controlled from birth to harvest on a small group of upstate New York farms that must past stringent guidelines to meet our quality criteria. The end result is the finest, healthiest, safest beef you can buy. It takes a lot to pass our requirements because we know it takes a lot to pass yours. New York Beef, LLC, John Gagliardi,

Pure Indian Foods is a small family-owned business that takes pride in making an exceptional quality grass-fed and certified organic Ghee. Goldencolored Ghee is prepared by melting and simmering butter until all the water evaporates and the milk solids settle at the bottom. The remaining butter oil is very stable, giving it a high smoke point which makes it an excellent choice for deep fat frying, baking and sautéing. Because of the low moisture content, it can be stored without refrigeration for 2-3 months. Many people find our ghee, with its rich, nutty flavor, to be tastier than butter. We make our ghee fresh, with care, in small batches, right here in the USA. Our products are USDA Certified Organic. We use butter made only in Springtime through the Fall, when the cows are actually out on the pasture eating fresh green grass. We make our ghee only on the waxing or full moon days which are auspicious in the ancient Vedic system. We use glass bottles instead of plastic bottles to avoid dangerous toxic chemicals from leeching from plastic containers. Our family has been in the ghee business in India for 5 generations, since 1889, and we are proudly continuing that tradition. Ghee has been used for its health-giving and healing properties for thousands of years. In Ayurveda (the “science of life”), cow ghee is considered one of the most sacred foods. Ghee is the best cooking oil as it is stable at higher temperatures, and it enhances the flavor of spices and herbs. Ghee is free of casein and lactose and is suitable for people who are allergic to dairy products. It keeps skin soft, and has anti-aging properties. Ghee contains naturally occurring CLA, Omega-3, Vitamins A, D, E & K2. It is free of harmful trans-fats. Ghee is shelf-stable and we ship worldwide by USPS, UPS, FedEx or DHL. We offer special discounts to co-ops and buying clubs. Pure Indian Foods, Sandeep and Nalini

Raindance Farm is introducing "Sun Cheese," our artisanal semi-hard cheese made in the tradition of the Italian Alps. Both grass-fed and organic, we use whole, raw cow's milk in an Asiago recipe. This traditional cheese recipe was perfected over the centuries using milk from cows on grass meadows and with it the goodness in our milk shines. Sun Cheese is aged at least six months with a subtle flavor; creamy, grassy and sweet with a slow, nutty nuance. We are seasoned grazers, entering our twentieth year as enthusiastic graziers and our twelfth year certified organic with Nofa-NY. This year we are again honored by the National Dairy Quality Awards as a Gold finalist and the exceptional milk quality makes our cheese that much more healthy for the families like our own who enjoy it. CLA analysis done in '08 found the CLA at an impressive 19.6 mg/gram because we only make cheese during our green grass season in order to pass on the health benefits to you. To get cheese shipped to you, contact us directly by phone or e-mail. We also have frozen whey fed pork, milk fed "Rose" veal and grassfed beef for sale at the farm and at the Columbia Greenmarket.

Simple Gifts Farm is a small, diversified family farm focusing on pasture-based poultry and heritage pork production. We also grow and sell organic (non-certified) vegetables, herbs and flowers. Our poultry—meat chickens, laying hens and turkeys—are raised outdoors with access to fresh grass from the moment they arrive as day old chicks. The first couple weeks of their lives they are restricted to our hoophouses, which are on grass, but are more protected from wind, rain, snow, etc. As they grow, they are moved completely outside, with a small movable shade structure to accompany them. We move them to fresh grass at least once/day, rotating their grazing areas over several large pastures. They are also fed certified organic local grains. Our pigs are also raised outdoors, with several small temporary huts for protection from inclement weather in the colder months. We rotate their pastures so they are able to eat ample amounts of grass, roots, acorns, other tree nuts and berries. Most of the pasture areas include some forest ground, which allows them shade in the summer months and where they enjoy rooting in old logs and through the leaves to find acorns, grubs and other tasty treats. Our sows farrow outdoors, where we allow them to choose their own farrowing areas, as they build large cozy nests to give birth in. From day one the piglets are exposed to sunshine, rain, wind, green grass and rich soil. We rotate all the pigs through a variety of pastures and woodlands. Our vegetables are grown organically, with a focus on open pollinated and heirloom varieties. Simple Gifts Farm, Emma and Adam Ricci, 2265

3-Corner Field Farm, located in the farming community of Shushan (Washington County), is one of the few sheep dairies in New York State. Owner/farmers Paul Borghard and Karen Weinberg are milking approximately 150 East Friesian cross ewes and pasture raising approximately 300 lambs annually. Every effort is made to maximize the health and well-being of the animals and the environment. The operation is grass-based and seasonal: ewes and lambs are intensively grazed on over 100 acres of grass, clover, and alfalfa pastures and ewes are milked only while on pasture. The flock's diet is supplemented, when necessary, with locally-grown whole grains. The milk and meat is produced naturally with careful attention to the welfare of each animal, whether they are destined for the milking flock or the slaughterhouse. The result is lamb that is tender, flavorful and healthy. One chef compared the taste of the lamb from 3-Corner Field Farm to great wine: reflecting the sweet nuances from the land on which it is grazed. Paul and Karen market most of the ewes' milk to Old Chatham Sheepherding Company for the production of their award-winning cheeses. Their naturally raised lamb is direct marketed to local customers at the farm; is sold to individuals and restaurants in New York City at the Union Square Greenmarket; and can be mail-ordered anywhere in the U.S. In 2003, 3-Corner Field Farm will be offering a small quantity of sheep's milk cheeses as well. Visits and tours of the farm and milking operation are welcome.

NY 12581. (845) 868-1826. At Veritas Farms we raise our Heritage breed animals on open pasture, where they’re free to be warmed by the sun and cooled by the gentle breezes of the Hudson Valley. We take a sustainable, old fashioned approach to farming. We believe it is our responsibility to work in harmony with the environment. We are passionate about grass farming, and believe it is evident in the flavorful and healthy meats and eggs we raise. Our customers are invited to tour Veritas Farms. Our animals are raised naturally and humanely. We provide them with good food, give them room to roam, and let them produce and reproduce with minimal human intervention. Our laying flock is comprised of many different Heritage breeds of chickens, resulting in differently colored and shaped eggs. For meat, Heritage breed chickens are available year round, and Cornish rock crosses raised on pasture are available seasonally. We also raise two Heritage breeds of turkey, and Pekin duck hatched from eggs laid here at the farm. Gloucestershire Old Spot and Large Black pigs thrive outside on our pastures. Our beef cattle are Scottish Highland and Devon because they suit our land, environment, and animal husbandry practices. Our eggs, meat and vegetables are farm pickup only. Please call or email for more details. Veritas Farms, Stephanie Turco, 32

Please inquire about this year's prices. Lambs can be picked up or delivered if the customer lives in close proximity. We also ship.

Buckley Farm, Mark Sacco, 425 Master Street, Valley Falls NY 12185. (855) OUR-BEEF. Wrong Direction Farm raises pastured pigs, and has limited seasonally available poultry. Grassfed beef is in the works, but it will be a few years until the herd is assembled. Our pigs are on pasture and in the wooded fencerows from April through November. In the winter we bring the pasture to them, in the form of hay harvested from our fields. We grow kale, pumpkins, oats, and root crops for the pigs, and we continue to play with the mixture to find optimal homegrown feed. We supplement their forage with organic grain, whey from a neighborhood cheese shop, and bread and vegetables from a local wholesaler. We prefer to sell pork by the whole pig or half pig, but we occasionally have individual cuts for sale. Pasture raised meat chickens are available during the summer and fall, but pre-orders are preferred to guarantee availability. Our chickens are fed certified organic feed. Thanks for your interest. Please call or email with any questions. Wrong Direction Farm, Dave and Rachel Perozzi, 431 Seebers Lane, Canajoharie NY 13317. (518) 928-0019. |
