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.

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!

Fox Hill Farm is 315 scenic, rolling acres in Ancramdale, New York just 2 hours north of NY City, in the foothills of the Berkshires of MA, CT and near the Taconic Parkway. We raise grassfed & grassfinished beef in an environmentally sustainable manner with rotational grazing of heritage breeds of British White, Murray Grey, Red Devon and crosses. They are very tame and raised organically but not yet certified.

The farm is protected from development by a conservation easement and has been in the Lampman family since 1882. The heritage breeds were chosen because of their ability to do well on grass and produce a healthy and tender, tasty product high in Omega 3 essential fatty acids.

¼’s, ½’s or whole beef custom cuts are prepared to customer specifications. We also sell and ship individual packages of steaks, roasts, burger and now terrific hot dogs (PaPa Dogs) that are all-beef, no-nitrate, with a natural casing.

All processing is done at small, local USDA inspected facilities. However, if an animal is purchased on the hoof in advance, then the most humane, ‘end’ can be arranged for at the farm. Shipping is available.

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.

Highland beef is lean, well marbled, and flavorful with little outside waste fat (they are insulated by long hair rather than a thick layer of fat).

The British Royal family keeps a large herd of Highlands at Balmoral Castle, Scotland and considers them their beef of choice.

Honeyhill Farm is a certified organic family farm in the Finger Lakes of NY.

Our principal crops are certified organic-pasture raised chickens, gourmet quality garlic and a select set of vegetables including 15 heirloom tomatoes. The significant difference between our tomatoes and that of the others is that taste is always first; one taste is all that it takes to become a convert!

Our chickens yield an incredibly delicious meat with a more dense texture than can be found in industrial chicken. They are fed exclusively certified organic grain along with clovers and grasses out on the pasture where they live their lives. They run to their hearts content scratching in the soil while enjoying the benefits of sunshine and fresh air. We call them Real Chicken.

We personally manage every step from peep to plate and have spared no effort and cost to provide you with the finest quality chicken obtainable for your family and guests.

Our products are available in various Rochester area locations during the growing season.  We attend Victor Farmers Market on Wednesdays 3-7pm; South Wedge Farmers Market Thursdays 4-8pm, Livonia Farmers Market Fridays 2-6pm; and Canandaigua Farmers Market Saturdays 8:30am-12:30.

Our goal is to provide our customers with 100% grassfed; pasture-based Angus beef that is a tastier and healthier alternative to commercially raised beef, while practicing farming techniques that benefit the environment.

Our cattle DO NOT get antibiotics, growth hormones, or genetically modified feed. Our cattle DO GET grass and hay from our fields, acres of pasture to wander, and lots of TLC. We are not certified organic but operate using what we consider ’best practices’ for the animals and the environment.

We sell sides of beef and individual cuts of meat from the farm and welcome visitors. Please note, we are a small producer so not all cuts are available at all times.

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 from our free-ranging chickens and hay in small square bales.

Feel free to visit us by appointment.

Midsummer Farm has been practicing and developing artisanal and sustainable agriculture since 2002. We are a very small farm, specializing in heritage poultry and game birds. Beautiful assortments of eggs in all shades of brown and green are sold by the dozen and half dozen January–August. We also offer a weekly egg CSA February–May.

Our hens are respected as living, feeling beings and thus enjoy spending the entire day ranging in over 3 acres of organically maintained pasture, woods, wild meadow, and riparian areas. They are only cooped up at nighttime for their protection; the coop is maintained using a deep-bedding method where composting starts in the bedding itself. The chicken manure is treasured for the wonderful compost it makes and is used on the farm to grow our vegetables. Our flock is a paradigm of good health; we have never had to use antibiotics or chemicals.

The flock is made up of heritage breeds of chickens that include Ameraucana, Rhode Island Red, Australorp, Speckled Sussex, Welsummer, Russian Orlorf, Marans, Barnevelder, Wyandotte, and Plymouth Rock poultry. These special breeds add to the artisanal quality of our farm, and we are able to put together gorgeous combinations of green, pink, and brown eggs. We also offer chicks and/or breeding stock of many of these breeds. Starting in Summer 2008, we will have quail eggs for sale as well; in Summer 2009, we will be offering Burgundy Snails (Escargot) !  
 
Our poultry, and the land they range on, is Certified Organic, Certified Naturally Grown, and Biodynamic. Beyond the natural diet of insects and diverse vegetation they get while ranging, the grains they are fed are also Certified Organic. This high-quality food insures that the eggs are the highest quality. They have extremely dense yellow yolks, and are naturally high in Omega 3 fatty acids. But best of all, they are the epitome of the goodness of fulfilled and happy hens!

We also sell meat birds – chicken, quail, pheasant, bourbon-red turkeys in small quantities (please call ahead reserve a bird as we sell out very fast). Customers are more than welcome to stop by and visit the farm and see the birds; please call ahead to be sure we’re available.

Our farm stand is open Fridays 4–7 pm and Saturday mornings 9–noon, from June 6–September 20. Besides our eggs and birds, we grow herbs, vegetables, salad greens, cutflowers, and bee products. We produce teas, salves, lip balms, baked goods, candles, and more. We offer a Farm Breakfast Saturday mornings. CSA with multiple share types and options. Workshops, talks, and farm-participation events held regularly – check out our website for schedules. Everything we do is geared toward Holistic wellbeing and Artisanal quality.

Natural Borders Farm specializes in raising grass-fed beef on a rotational grazing system. Our cattle spend the grazing season moving daily to fresh paddocks of native grasses. We also graze horses, poultry and sheep with our cattle to encourage an increased variety of native grass species and to provide natural predator protection. We strive to provide a natural, healthy, non-stressful and enjoyable environment for all our livestock.

We also utilize pigs for compost production in our barn. These pigs spend at least 12 hours daily in the cattle barn rummaging through the bedding material while the cows are outside. Pigs are also fed corn meal, garden excesses and apples from our farm. We have a limited amount of pork available in both the fall and spring seasons. In the near future, we hope to offer pasture poultry and grass-fed lamb.

Our cattle are processed in a federally inspected processing plant. Beef may be purchased in quarters, halves or whole. Although not certified organic, no chemicals, hormones or routine drugs are used on our farm.

We also have our own hives of honeybees for increased pollination and production of pure honey that is available at most times.

Come visit at anytime.

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.

Northland Sheep Dairy is a 100% grass-fed farm producing artisanal raw milk cheeses, lamb and mutton, as well as 100% wool products and tanned sheepskins. Our animals are rotationally grazed during the growing season, and fed hay produced on-farm during the winter. We produce our own hay using draft horse and mule power. We do not use chemical wormers or insecticides on the animals. We use a certified organic, USDA-inspected butcher.

We sell our cheeses, meats and wool products at the Ithaca Farmers Market every Saturday, April through December, in Ithaca, New York.

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. Please contact Paul or Sharon or check their website to place an order or to obtain more information about the farm.

The Winchell Creek Beefalo Farm is an exclusively pasture-raised, grass-fed beefalo ranch located in northern New York's beautiful Washington County farm region. Our 500-acre farm offers huge pastures for our registered beefalo herd. The beefalo are grass-fed only. No grain or any other additives. No hormones. No antibiotics. We bale our own hay and feed it to our herd in the winter.

The farm is one of the oldest beefalo farms in the Northeast, started in 1986. We provide a low stress environment for the cows. We time our calving so it occurs in spring (the natural way) for the grass blush that gives the cows the fresh energy they need at the time.

Beefalo are a cross between Bison and any other bovine. The cross produces a low fat, low cholesterol meat that has a very high vitamin content. They are very hardy and healthy animals and enjoy a more varied grass diet than standard cattle.

The meat is prepared and and packaged by Locust Grove, a local, family owned, USDA approved butcher shop. The meat is vacuum bagged, labeled, and frozen. We supply various cuts including ground meat, patties, steaks, roasts, liver, and soup bones. This is real, healthy meat with texture.

Our meat is sold in two select health food stores (one in Albany, NY and one in Connecticut). Most of our meat is sold by the package, here at the farm. Our farm store (which includes the Honest Injun' Native American Basket Shop), is open weekends from 10 to 4, or by appointment. We also have pastured poultry eggs and wild ginseng we harvest here.

We are located on a dead end road on the east side of Fort Ann, near the Hartford border. Please call or visit our website for directions. Eat Healthy.
