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: Amazing Creation Ranch offers totally grass fed beef, pastured meat chickens, and pastured turkeys. It is our priority to be good stewards of the land and animals God has entrusted to us. We focus on keeping our animals on fresh, nutrient-rich pasture as much as weather and seasons allow. All our animals are rotated/moved to fresh pasture daily to insure the best feed and clean environment possible. Beef cows are never fed grain and only quality hay during winter months or dry seasons. Poultry get an organic grain ration that is free of GMO's and chemicals. Our Beeves are processed in late October right after the prime growing season by a local USDA certified organic processor. We sell beef by the whole, half, or mixed quarter. Chickens are raised from May to October and are processed on our farm. Turkeys are harvested just before Thanksgiving at the end of their prime growing season. It is always good to order early in the season so we have a better chance of having enough to fill your order at harvest time. We make it a priority to know our customers and for our customers to know us as we are not certified organic we go above and beyond organic standards to produce safe, sustainable, and nutrient-rich food that is abundant in flavor. We like to be customer-inspected so we encourage our patrons to visit us and see exactly what we are doing and ask any questions. You can purchase items here at the farm or we do deliver to certain drop points in PA. You can find current details of our operation like prices and ordering information on our website.

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,

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.

Hill Road, Cobleskill NY 12043. (518) 823-4040. Blue Fire Farm & MileStone Apiary offers grassfed beef, breeding stock, and raw honey. We use biodynamic principles. We see our farm as a living ecosystem, from the soil microbiology up.
Our family raises heritage cattle breeds that excel on native pastures, mainly Belted Galloway. Our cattle live and graze in family groups, migrating around our farm throughout the growing season. During the winter they are fed native hay free choice. We also offer them kelp and salt with added selenium and vitamin E free choice, year round. Our honeybees are allowed to build comb naturally, as they would in the wild. We use two types of box style hives: Warre with observation windows and the conventional boxes. We feel strongly about the conservation of honeybees and that they are the backbone of agriculture. We even remove wayward honeybee colonies from buildings. Honeybees unfortunately are being plagued at this time with many devastating pests. We use an integrated pest management system to help the bees cope with these killers. Our honey is available by mail and is sold locally at several stores. Beef is available on a preorder basis, by the quarter, half and whole; cut to your specifications at a local USDA inspected slaughter house.

At Bo Cara Farms, we strive for quality, not quantity, and we raise only as many cattle as our pastures can naturally sustain.

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!

Quarters, halves, 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.

E Ancram Road, Ancramdale NY 12503. (518) 810-3274. Freeman Homestead is a family-owned and operated farm in western NY, producing high quality, delicious and nutritious meats and eggs since 1997. They practice seasonal farming where the production year matches the natural rhythm of the seasons. They use management-intensive grazing and wholistic practices to create a biological farming system that is beneficial for the animals, environment, consumers, and community. On the fields, absolutely no pesticides, herbicides, or artificial fertilizers are used. Instead, their own organic compost made on the farm from the winter bedding, and natural minerals are applied to the land. During the grazing season, the animals are outside, giving them an abundance of fresh air, sunlight, and organically fertilized pastures. During the winter they are housed in buildings for protection and bedded with organic matter used for fertilizing the fields. No antibiotics, medications, or fast-growth hormones are used on the animals sold from their farm. The focus of the farm is on the overall well-being of the animals, the positive impact on the environment and community, and the nutritional quality and taste of the product offered to the customers. Products offered include: 100% forage/grass fed and finished beef and lamb; forage fed pork; and eggs from pastured hens. Because the digestive systems of the hogs and poultry are different from the ruminating cows and sheep, the pigs and chickens receive high quality grain from a local mill in addition to grass and forage. Meats are available seasonally, sold ready for the table or freezer, and are picked up by the individual ordering. Eggs are available year around. Saturday deliveries are periodically made to the Buffalo area. Call or write for more information or a current newsletter and price list of available products. Freeman Homestead, Keith and Rae Ellen

(303) 246-7763 Gansvoort Farm raises 100% grassfed lamb in the Hudson Valley. I rotationally graze my flock on diverse, nutritious pastures to protect water quality, biodiversity and store soil carbon. My sheep are Icelandic crosses—hardy, healthy, and excellent graziers, with meat known to be mild and delicious. I use organic practices (no antibiotics, no hormones, organically managed pastures) but am not USDA certified organic. I follow animal welfare guidelines to maintain a happy, healthy flock. I have lamb for sale every fall by the whole or half. Orders can be placed by phone or e-mail beginning in late summer. All lamb is cut to order and I will help you decide how you want it done if you are not familiar with the options. I usually sell out by early October, so order early. My butcher says it is some of the nicest lamb he has ever seen. And my customers all agree the flavor is unbelievably good - this lamb is nothing like super market lamb. Please visit my website to learn more about my farm and my management practices! Gansvoort Farm, Jennifer Phillips, 1827 Route 9, Germantown NY 12526. (518) 537-4668. George Highlanders is located in the rolling hills of western New York and keeps a herd of Scottish Highlanders for the sheer pleasure of it. We do baby them, and prospective customers are welcome to come and see the herd anytime—and the windmill in their pasture. Organically raised in a rotational grazing herd as a hobby, they are on fresh grass daily from May to November, and receive no grain, hormones or antibiotics. 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. Pictures of the herd available on request George Highlanders, Tony George, 7780 Cadwell Road, Bliss NY 14024. (585) 322-8888. E-mail: georgehighlanders@hotmail.com. 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.

Green Heron Growers has been a certified organic farm since 2007 for Shiitake mushrooms, veggies and herbs. In 2009 we added chicken for meat production and 100% grass fed Devon beef. We are a small operation which we run ourselves with the help of a volunteer on occasion. NOFA-LLC certifies our farm organic. We raise our meat birds in moveable chicken tractors, which get moved twice a day to provide them with fresh grass and bugs along with certified organic grains. Our Devon beef are raised on certified organic pastures, but are not considered organic because we purchase them as yearlings. With the purchase of our breeding herd in 2012, we hope to be able to offer certified organic beef soon. We harvest our beef animals from July to December and offer quarter, half and whole animals along with 50 pound mixed boxes plus we have a continual supply of beef cuts available in our Farm Store through out the year. Most of our sales are done at Farmers markets in Buffalo and Fredonia and from our Farm Store; we offer a self service option if we are not at home. We currently offer beef and chicken on a year round basis and Shiitake mushrooms, veggies and selected greens starting in June of each year. Our Shiitake mushrooms are log grown and are cultivated in our hemlock grove. We have over 2000 logs in production. It's quite a science project, which causes our supply to fluctuate according to the weather and our soaking schedule. Please refer to our web site for current availability and pricing.

Happy Hooves Organic Farm raises 100% grass fed, grass finished Beef, pasture raised soy-free Pork, truly free-range and soy-free Chickens, Turkeys, Ducks and Eggs. ALL of our animals are raised on pasture for optimal health for We are Certified Organic by Global Organic Alliance (GOA) for our Beef, Pork, Chicken, Turkey, Ducks, and Eggs. We NEVER use any hormones, antibiotics, pesticides, chemicals or anything not allowed in Certified Organic production of any of our meats, and we don't feed any soy. Our calves stay with mothers getting their milk naturally until their Mama puts a stop to that. Our cows are never confined and never see a feedlot. We take pride in knowing they are happy—as evidenced by the way they "play" in the fields. Unhappy animals, or animals that don't have their comfort needs met do not "play." Happy cows make better beef ! Poultry is hatched here or comes from a hatchery as day-old chicks. Once old enough to move outside they stay out on pasture until old enough for harvesting, spending their days in the sunshine nipping at grass and bugs. Hens, of course, stay here year round with outdoor access on all but the nastiest of winter days. In the spring, summer and fall they are out all day roaming around the property. Our pigs are born here, bred and born by natural methods out on the pasture. They have portable "huts" for shade and wind protection. Sows will build a "nest" to give birth to their piglets in. Piglets are raised by their mothers until the sow decides it's time to wean them, usually at around 10 weeks of age. Sows continue to stay with the piglets until they are at least 4 months old and then seem happy to retire to a separate sow pasture where it's much quieter away from the piglets. Each sow has only one litter per year. Our meat is sold directly to consumers. Beef and Pork is processed at a USDA inspected butcher and sold by cuts, quarters and sides. Chickens and Turkeys are sold whole and cut up and Eggs by the dozen. Check our website for up-to-date listing of availability or give us a call. Happy Hooves Organic Farm, Ted and Della

Kinderhook Farm consists of several hundred acres of pastures and hay meadows located in the Hudson Valley of New York. We raise beef cattle and sheep on a 100% grass and legume diet that includes no grain, antibiotics, growth hormone, or animal by-products. Our grass fed pasture system is better for the animal and our environment, resulting in nutritionally superior beef and lamb. Our cattle and sheep are born in the pastures of our farm, and graze the forages growing in our fields. We harvest the excess hay during the summer months and feed it during the winter. All animal wastes are returned to the land and become nutrients for the next grass cycle. The Kinderhook Farm Store offers individually packaged cuts of pasture-raised, grass-finished beef and lamb, along with farm fresh pasture eggs and one of the best views in the Hudson Valley. We also raise Freedom Ranger meat chickens which are available on a seasonal basis. We’re open every day although we may be out doing chores around the farm when you arrive.

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 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

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.

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. Please contact Paul or Sharon or check their website to place an order or to obtain more information about the farm. 3-Corner Field Farm, Karen Weinberg

(845) 384-6888. Vernon Valley Farm raises grass-fed beef, pastured pork, and naturally grown vegetables. We strive to provide fresh, healthy, and flavorful food for our community. Our operation is strictly chemical and drug free. From the health and well-being of our cows, all the way down to the worms in the soil, we seek to use nature's synergies to farm rather than industrial methods. All of our cows are born on the farm and raised on our pastures. We have spent years fine tuning the mix of grass species so that there is a diversity of forage available, irrespective of the weather. From spring through early winter, we move the herd daily to a fresh area. This system is known as intensive rotational grazing and is designed to mimic the natural grazing patterns of herd animals in the wild. This allows the grass enough time to rest and regrow and helps build healthy soil. This also helps to break insect and parasite cycles. During periods of inclement weather, we feed our cattle in an open air structure. We utilize a bedded manure pack system. This historic method puts a greater emphasis on animal comfort rather than production efficiency. The resulting compost is spread back on the fields after the winter. Currently we have grass-fed beef in stock and are accepting orders. We sell by the whole, half, and quarter, as well as individual cuts. Next season we will have pork, with the potential for poultry. We welcome visitors and seek to mentor others about farming. Vernon Valley Farm, Kirk Stephens, 99 Sand Hill Road, Sussex, NJ 07461. (973) 209-4829. White Clover Farm is a sustainable family farm.
