Cooney Creek Farm is a 250 acre family farm
nestled in the hills of Lawrence County, Ohio. We are located in Wheelersburg, Ohio, 100 miles south of Columbus; 30 miles from Huntington, WV; 20 miles from Ashland, KY. The name comes from
the largest stream going through the farm.
Cooney Creek is the
outlet for 27,000 acres of National Forest land that borders us
on three sides. The land has been farmed since the early 1700s
to produce meat, dairy, fruit and crops for local consumption.
Corn and soybean, beef, pork and turkeys were the main products
until Jim and Cindy Yancy purchased the land in 1996 for Quarter
Horses and free range chickens. The years of creating more grassland
and developing mountain springs to supply stock have seen the operation
focus on holistic, sustainable practices.
We now have a few good
horses who graze along with our beef herd. Red Devon genetics have
been used since the first cow was AI’d
by Cindy and are the basis for our gentle, thrifty cattle. Our
herd is now Red Devon influenced and registered Red Devon. Hair
sheep were introduced this year and will eventually be integrated
as part of our multi-species grazing plan. Each year we get closer
to our goal of year round grazing. Our stock thrive on natural
forages and are supplemented only with hay and minerals. Only emergent
care medicines are used to treat injury. We are not certified organic
but follow many organic practices. We do embrace sustainable and
holistic principles and have where selected as Outstanding NRCS
Cooperators of the year.
Processing is done at a USDA facility and beef
is dry aged for at least 14 days, cut to customer order, clear
vacuum-wrapped and quick frozen. We sell by the cut, halves and
whole beef.Beef consistently grades at high select
to low choice, providing wonderful eating. Discover for yourself
what beef was like prior to industrialization.
Farm visits are welcome with an appointment.
We will be granting hunting leases in the future for deer, turkey.

Hillyrock Farm is a small family farm that
direct-markets its natural, grass finished beef in the form
of:

farm has been in operation for over 200 years and is listed on the National

and fattened on grass. We process our meat at a family run abattoir
that is WV Dept. of Agriculture and USDA inspected.
We make weekly deliveries to Charleston, May-October,

Farm is 160 acres of rolling hills in Calhoun County, WV.

goats, and pastured chickens and turkeys, we hope
to bring balance and fertility back to our pastures.
Broilers are available beginning in June and until
early fall. A limited number of turkeys are raised for Thanksgiving.
Though we are still in the herd building stage for our Dexter cattle,
grass fed beef and registered stock is occasionally available.

Mon Valley Farms, LLC is a small group of
family farmers that have come together to sell all natural beef from
the Mon River Valley area. We have chosen not to use any added growth-stimulating
hormones or antibiotics, so you and your family can enjoy beef that

hay, and their mother's milk, and harvested at a younger
"petite" age. This allows you to enjoy smaller, high quality
cuts that are naturally lower in fat. Our beef is processed in a local
USDA inspected plant and comes to you quick-frozen and vacuum-packed
in heavy plastic to ensure your dining pleasure while at the same time
having an excellent storage life.
We are also proud that we have adopted low impact,
sustainable farming practices—like streamside fencing and rotational
grazing. While Mon Valley Farms, LLC is raising top quality beef, we
are also raising a more positive outlook for farm families who want to
maintain their rural life style and economic viability.

Sarver Heritage Farm was established in
1951 on 250 acres of beautiful rolling hills in the Organ Cave area
of WV. Current stewards Robert & Jewell Doering are the third generation
of Sarvers to raise beef cattle on this land. Our Farmland Preservation
Easement assures we won't be the last.
Our cattle are born, raised and finished here. We can tell you how
each of our animals have spent their entire lives. They eat only grass,
either from pasture or our own grass hay. We practice rotational grazing
to maintain fertile, lush pastures, working closely with USDA and NRCS
to assure the health of the land as well as the cattle.
We treat our cattle humanely and with respect. Many actually enjoy
(demand) a good scratching when we check on them daily. With pastures
ranging from 10 to 50 acres, they have plenty of room to move about
and do what they do best. They receive no hormones, no fed antibiotics
nor any supplement other than access to free choice trace mineral salt.
They are harvested at 18 to 29 months of age, providing tender and
full flavored beef.
Our goal is to produce the highest quality natural beef while being
competitive with the grocer's meat counter prices. We feel that natural,
healthy, safe food should cost less when purchased directly from the
farmer.
Our beef is processed at a small, family-owned USDA certified and Animal
Welfare Approved facility, where it is dry aged for 21 days before
being cut, vacuum packed and frozen.
We sell individual cuts, split sides, sides and whole beef. Our steaks
are cut 1.5" thick; cuts and ground beef are available at the
farm year 'round. We prefer to sell locally and offer free delivery
(up to 50 miles on split sides or more).

Swift Level's rolling 152
acres are located just outside of Lewisburg in Greenbrier County. Family
farming in southern WV since 1843, we have a love of land and animals.
Our Angus steers are born "across
the fence" on our neighbor's farm where we watch them grow and
play with their herd on free pasture grazing and hay. They come "through
the gate" to us at 10–12 months of age where we finish them
on the same familiar grasses until they have naturally matured to their
individual finished weight, between 20–27 months. The steers
move about freely on well managed pastures, have abundant flowing clean
spring water, and are supplemented only with organic kelp and
necessary supported minerals for balanced health. Thoughtful
and wise animal husbandry practices insure our animals have the best
life we can offer them. We are in compliance with a USDA/NRCS organic
land certification program. All streams,springs and woodlands
are protected.
We use a small, family run USDA, Animal Welfare
Approved abattoir. It is vitally important to us that slaughter is
done thoughtfully and carefully. Our
beef dry-hangs for a minimum of 30 days. All packaging is vacuum sealed.
Tag numbers are imprinted to trace each package of beef from birth
to consumer. This delicious beef sells by the cut, no order too
small or too large! We process year round and ship direct all
over the country.
To order: Please visit our website for
cut and price listing, updated weekly
