Aspen Ridge Farm is a small diversified family farm specializing in naturally grown, pasture-raised meat including chicken, turkey, lamb, goat, pork and eggs. Our broilers, layers, and turkeys forage on our pastures while free-ranging outside, always exposed to natural sunlight and fresh air. Broilers will be available starting at the end of May through the end of November. Turkeys will be available starting in November through the holiday season.
Our pigs are provided with both forest and pasture to browse and root in. Their low stocking density and frequent rotation minimizes their impact on the environment and maximizes their quality of life and flavor of the meat. We have a limited number of whole and half hogs available for sale, so pre-ordering is highly recommended to insure availability. Individually packaged cuts of pork will be available at the beginning of August, 2012.
We provide unlimited grass and pasture to all of our animals, and supplement the diets of our poultry and pigs with an organically grown, soy- and GMO-free grain ration that is both grown and milled locally.
Our 2012 Meat CSA consists of seven pick-ups over a three-month share from mid-August through the beginning of November. There will be two share options; both will have bi-weekly pickups. A chicken and egg share that includes two dozen pastured eggs and two whole pastured chicken broilers, or a more diverse share consisting of two dozen pastured eggs, two whole pastured chicken broilers, and two 1-pound packages of pork per pick-up.
All of our farm products are available by pre-arranged drop off or pick up at the farm. Please contact us by phone our email to place an order.

Beechtree Farm, Hopewell, NJ. Inspired after hearing Jo Robinson speak on why grassfed is best in 2003, we began to expand our cattle operation of 20 years and selling our grassfed beef directly to consumers from our 58 acre, preserved farm. We have two other farms nearby and partner with local farmers whose pasture we graze in-season. We also sell chicken, pork and eggs seasonally.
Our meat is sold frozen, by the cut, in our store here at Beechtree Farm. Please call ahead to let us know when you'd like to visit. While we live and work from the farm, we want to make sure to be here when you arrive. From Spring to Fall we also participate in several farmers markets (see our website for locations and times). We take names for those who are interested in ordering 1/8, 1/4 or 1/2 share of beef.
Our cattle live an unconfined, humane life on pasture and hay in the winter with access to shelter, minerals and salt. We practice rotational pasture grazing to maintain the growth of lush pastures. Working with the Natural Resource Conservation Service, NRCS, we follow Comprehensive Nutrient Management to protect local water and enrich our soils. The meat is processed at small USDA certified facilities. We have observed the entire process and are confident that our animals receive humane treatment up to the very end.
We often hear from our customers how flavorful our meat is. It was quite a thrill when one 80-year-old customer exclaimed that she had the best hamburger in her entire life from our ground beef. Another woman actually burst into tears when talking about the brisket she prepared at Passover. We also feel wonderful knowing our customers are eating such nutrient dense and healthy food.
We are actively involved in promoting local, regenerative agriculture. Charlie is on the Mercer County Board of Agriculture. Lucia is Vice President, Board of Directors, Northeast Organic Farming Association of New Jersey (NOFANJ.org) and heads up the Policy Committee. She chairs the Hopewell Township Agricultural Advisory Committee which actively preserves farmland in our town.

Burningheart Farm is
a small farm with a mission: to preserve the art of sustainable farming.
We use organic methods to produce happy and healthy pasture raised lamb, heritage
turkey, chicken and eggs without
the use of antibiotics, growth hormones, anthelmintics (de-wormers),
pesticides, herbicides, or synthetic fertilizers. Our lambs and poultry
are on pasture everyday.
The small size of our farm allows us to produce limited quantity with
exceptional quality. An important part of our "small and local" philosophy
is retailing directly to you, our customer.
The soil is the foundation of our farm. Our permanent pastures are
managed for the long term protection of the soil, increasing mineralization,
and decreasing erosion. Permanent organic pasture contains a wide variety
of plants and greater biological diversity than soil which is subject
to tillage and toxic inputs. Much of our pasture contains legumes,
such as white clover, which fix nitrogen from the atmosphere into the
soil at the root level, providing free and natural fertilization with
no excess nitrogen run-off to contaminate surface water. The result
is a higher level of nutrition in the pasture, the animals, and you.
We keep a permanent flock of sheep and
breed our lambs here on our farm. Our livestock are treated humanely
and have plenty of space, eliminating stress and illness. We supplement
our livestock with kelp (OMRI listed), a sea grass which has the proper
balance of vitamins and minerals necessary for excellent nutrition.
Kelp contains over 60 minerals and helps to maintain soil fertility.
We participate in the USDA voluntary scrapie flock certification program.
These sustainable methods promote optimal public health, maintain strong
topsoil and produce some of the most nutritious, safe, and delicious
meat and eggs available.
You can order on our website, email or call. Please order your
lamb early in the year, as we often sell out by summer; you can buy
a whole or half share and it is ready for your pickup in the
summer and autumn. Heritage turkey orders for Thanksgiving are
taken throughout the year, but should be made by March 31 to ensure
we will raise one just for you. Chicken is available throughout
the year; advance orders are requested for large quantities. Eggs
are available in the spring, summer and fall. Honey, organic
herbs, firewood, and more are available on our farm stand seasonally.

our website for more details, discounts and current info.

The Jennings Farm is located in Medford NJ which is 20 minutes from Cherry Hill, NJ and 45 minutes from Philadelphia PA. The farm has been in our family for four generations and was preserved from development by the SADC of New Jersey.
The Jennings Farm herd consists primarily of Herefords and a Hereford-Angus cross fondly called “Baldies,” because of their white faces. Our animals are free to roam year round and are never penned up, however shelter is available to them during inclement weather. Our animals live stress-free happy lives and enjoy the tranquility our rural 100-acre farm. During warmer times of the year and weather dependent (rainfall, drought, temperature) we use rotational grazing to allow rest periods for the pastures to promote healthy re-growth of their grasses. The pastures in return give back healthy nutritious forage for our animals. To round out their diets, our herd has access trace element salt and kelp. During the winter we add hay to their dormant season grazing but they are never fed corn or grain nor are they given antibiotics or hormones. This past fall several of our pastures were over seeded to not only increase forage diversity but to add increased density as well.
We do not have organic certification but do our best to abide by the standards embraced by the organic process. Future plans include applying for humane animal certification.
Our USDA beef is processed by Bringhurst Meats in Berlin NJ which has been Animal Welfare Approved.
Our beef products may be purchased:

Kezialain Farm, in Orange County NY, has been in our family since 1775. We see ourselves as stewards of this land – which is why we raise cattle that are 100% grass-fed, certified organic (by NOFA-NY).
Our cattle are raised on their mothers’ milk, our organic pasture and hay, and organic minerals like kelp—nothing else. They thrive on the native grasses and plants that grow naturally in the fields, keeping the soil fertile and the farm sustainable. This diet and their low-stress lives make them naturally healthy and enhances the quality of their lives. It’s also better for the environment and produces the healthiest kind of beef available.
We use a small organic humane USDA slaughterhouse. The meat is dry aged for 10–14 days to enhance flavor and tenderness, then cut, vacuum packed and frozen. We sell meat directly from the farm as sides (which are cut to your specifications); mixed quarters and eighths (we try to include the cuts that you prefer); 20-pound variety packs of steaks, ground beef and other cuts; and 10 or 20 pound packs of ground beef. We sometimes have ground beef and small amounts of meat available but usually orders have to be placed in advance – just contact us and we’ll let you know about availability.
More information and a video of the farm are on our website. If you have any questions about buying in bulk, we are glad to answer them. We understand that many people haven’t done it before and don’t know what to expect.

Lowland Farm raises grass-fed, grass-finished beef and pastured pork on verdant farmland in the Hudson Valley, 50 miles NW of New York City, adjacent to Vernon, New Jersey.
Our cows are mixed breeds, including Angus, Hereford, and Devon. They spend their entire lives out of doors, eating grass exclusively, without antibiotics or growth-promoting hormones. We began raising beef seven years ago and are beginning to see the results of our high density rotational grazing in improved soil, organic matter and fertility – and in excellent beef. We added pasture-raised hogs in 2012, rearing heritage breeds on sectioned woodland habitat. Hogs live on the fruits of their foraging and on feed free of antibiotics and hormones.
We sell varied cuts of grass-fed beef and pastured pork, processed at USDA-approved facilities and sold frozen in vacuum-packed packages: steaks, roasts, short-ribs, sandwich steak, ground beef, ham, sausages, spare ribs and other cuts. Customers may buy portions of cows or pigs as well. Orders of 20 pounds or more receive a 20% discount. We sell our meat locally and will deliver larger orders; people may pick up from the farm. Selected cuts are available for delivery through Schuller’s Dairy Deliveries, Warwick, NY. (www.schullersdairy.com)
More information about our grazing practices and farm is available on our website.

Plaid Piper Farm has been in our family
for 7 generations. It is located in picturesque Sussex County. We currently
offer grass fed, grass finished beef, pastured pork, chickens,
turkeys and eggs. All of our products are raised naturally
without the use of added antibiotics, hormones or pesticides.
Our beef is wintered over on our hay. Spring through
fall they are rotationally grazed on our pastures. Our pigs are fed a
balanced grain ration and rotationally graze their pastures. The broiler
chickens are kept in large moveable pens. The pens provide shade and
safety from predators. The pens are moved to fresh pasture daily. They
are given natural feed to supplement what they pick up in the pasture.
We raise one flock of Broad breasted Bronze turkeys each year for Thanksgiving. They
are also rotationally grazed. Our layer flock has their own travel trailer.
This provides their protection from predators, a place to roost and nests
to lay their eggs. They freely wander their pasture and hop into
their trailer whenever they feel the need. We move the layers and their
trailer to fresh pasture frequently.
We invite you to visit our farm. We enjoy showing
you our content animals and discussing how we keep them safe and healthy
in a humane fashion. We use good husbandry practices to let them live
as nature intended with as little intervention as possible. If you would
like to visit, please call or email so we can ‘hang near the barn’ and
wait for you. You may even be put to work collecting eggs!
We sell our products direct from our farm. Order
your product on our website, by email, or call. We suggest

quickly.

Pure Indian Foods is a small family-owned
business that takes pride in making an exceptional quality grass-fed
and certified organic Ghee. Golden colored 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.

and grow naturally with minimal interference from us, just like God
intended.
All beef cattle eat organic pasture, never
any grain. Free-range veal, pork and poultry enjoy organically
managed pasture and certified organic feed. Chickens are raised in portable
outside pens that are moved each day to provide fresh forage rich in
Omega 3 and CL As. You taste the difference!
Processing is done at a local family-owned, USDA
inspected, certified organic facility. Animals are treated humanely,
with as little stress as possible, and the processor honors that tradition
once they are placed in his care.
Products are sold wholesale, retail (to members only),
and to restaurants. We strive to keep our products modestly priced, promoting
family affordability as well as nutritional value. Beef is sold in individual
cuts or by sides/whole beef. Pork is sold by the cut or by ½ or
whole hog, and chicken is sold whole. All retail cuts are vacuum packed
(sides/whole animals can be paper-wrapped at your request).
Please contact the farm via e-mail for information
on becoming a member. (Web-site should be updated soon!)

Totten Family Farm is a preserved 80-acre Certified
Naturally Grown farm in Long Valley, NJ.
As stewards of the land it is our objective to efficiently
raise high quality,healthy food in a sustainable manner. We are driven
by a deep rooted need to utilize the skills and preserve the traditions
that have sustained humankind for so long. We consider food raised in
a pure, ecological, and humane manner to be a basic right essential to
good health. It is our duty and honor as farmers and land stewards to
fulfill this right with integrity and imprint its value on current and
future generations.
Under new management this year, the farm will expand its offerings to
include mixed vegetables, in addition to pasture raised chickens,
ducks, turkeys, and eggs. Other anticipated products this year include grass
fed lamb and pasture raised pork. By selecting heritage breeds we hope
to preserve priceless genetic diversity.
To ensure happy, healthy animals we employ management techniques such
as good nutrition, low stocking densities, frequent movement to fresh
pasture, interspecies grazing, and alternating fields between grazing,
haying, and vegetable production. We never use hormones, antibiotics,
pesticides, herbicides, or synthetic fertilizers. The animals that do
require grain are fed organic grain. Through our management techniques
we encourage all of our animals to forage from our lush pastures of mixed
grasses and legumes. Scraps from our sustainably managed gardens may
also be fed. We feed dry hay from our own fields during the winter months.
Our products are available at our farm stand,
at farmers markets, and at select area stores and restaurants. We prefer
to take preorders for our meats. In addition we offer mixed vegetables,
vegetable starts, cut flowers, nursery trees, farm baked pies, honey,
Christmas trees, medicinal herbs, and educational programs.
