Awesome Farm is a pasture based animal farm in Tivoli, New York. We provide eggs, chicken, beef and lamb to people who want the freshest, healthiest food available.

As farmers, we do everything we can to care for the animals and the land. Our animals are raised on pasture, under conditions that do not require them to receive antibiotics. We don't apply pesticides or synthetic fertilizers to our fields. We feel that we are part of a larger movement to create a local, healthier food system.

Our lambs spend their entire lives on pasture. They eat only fresh forages, minerals, and their mother's milk. Lambs are pre-ordered and sold by the half or the whole. They are custom butchered to your specifications and picked up from the farm.

Steers are entirely grass-fed and grass-finished. They are pre-ordered and sold by the whole, half, or split quarter. They, too, are custom butchered to your specifications and picked up from the farm.

Our pastured chickens are fed local, organic grain from Lightning Tree Farm in Millbrook, NY. They are moved daily to fresh grasses. Chickens are sold whole and picked up fresh from the farm. We will also be delivering fresh chickens to Brooklyn.

Wool from our sheep is processed locally and is sold undyed. It has a wonderful feel to it and is easy to work with. Our pelts are processed in Pennsylvania and are a luxurious gift for yourself or a loved one.

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. Pick-up at the farm is always welcome. Shipping is also available nationwide.

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.

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. Shipping is available.

Visitors are welcome.

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.

• Large Family Bundle (60 lbs.)
• Steak Lovers Bundle (15 lbs.)
• Economy Bundle (20 lbs.)
• Ground Beef Bundle (25 lbs.)
• Family Bundle (30 lbs.)
• Roast Lovers Bundle (15 lbs.)
• Sampler Bundle (15 lbs.)

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 certified organic since 2007 for shiitake mushrooms, veggies, flowers, herbs and fruits. In 2009 we added chickens for eggs and meat, and grass-fed beef. We are a small farm, which we run by ourselves with the help of the occasional volunteer or Woofer. We are certified organic by NOFA-NY, LLC for our 200 acres and 35 acres of leased pasture.

Our meat birds are pastured in Joel Salatin style chicken tractors that move every day to fresh grass. Our cows are rotationally grazed and get moved to a fresh paddock every day. The steers we have are not certified organic since we bought them as yearlings. All our cows are Devon crosses, an excellent breed for grass-fed production. We hope to start a certified organic herd with Devon genetics in the fall of 2009.

Most of our sales are made here at the farm, one of us are usually here. In the 2009 season we are raising 250 meat birds and 10 steers. Chickens are $3.99/pound for whole birds and $4.50 for quartered bird. Eggs are $3/dozen and are green and brown, available from August through the winter. Shiitake mushrooms are $16/pound fresh or $18/2.5oz dried. Grass-fed beef will be available near the end of the year or in early 2010. We have a small selection of produce, especially garlic and greens.

The shiitake are log-grown, outdoor cultivated in our Hemlock grove. We have over 1000 logs in production. Some of our shiitake strains fruit with cold weather and some respond to soaking. It's quite the science project and our supplies fluctuate.

We'd be pleased to supply you with local, clean, healthy food. Make contact soon!

Greener Pastures Farm is located in the central Finger Lakes area of New York State, half way between Geneva and Canandaigua. The farm is in an area that supports many diverse agricultural enterprises. Currently Greener Pastures Farm is only offering beef by the cut in vacuum-sealed packages, individually or by the half/whole (based upon boxed weight). Sorry, meat goats, and organically fed turkeys are not available at this time.

The beef is 100% pasture raised in summer and fed premium hay in winter months. When naturally fat, they are personally transported to a USDA processor that is less than one hour from the farm. Beef is aged up to 21 days, cut into individual packages and vacuum-sealed. No antibiotics, no added hormones, and no feedlot from calf to table!

ORDERING: Products can be reserved by contacting the farm at (585) 394-1461. No shipping, no store—just family to family service. Most of our beef cuts are reserved prior to processing.

At Happy Hooves Organic Farm we raise grass fed beef on our organic pastures and fields. All beef feed is raised right here and is 100% certified organic by NOFA-NY. We also raise pork and venison here on pasture, supplemented with certified organic feed from Lakeview Organic Grains in Penn Yan. We're learning the ropes on chickens and eggs right now with turkeys and rabbits up next year. Fresh organic veggies in season can be found here at our farm stand beginning some time this summer of 2009.

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 our cows 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 !

We never use any hormones, antibiotics, pesticides, chemicals or anything not allowed in certified organic production of any of our meat.

All meat is sold primarily in bulk, by the side or split quarters. We occasionally have cuts available and often have ground beef available. We only use beef cows raised for that purpose.You'll save a lot of money over the same amount of inferior meat from the supermarket. We use processors who will cut, wrap, and freeze your meat to your specification. We're sure you'll be happy with them.

So call us if you're ready for some REAL beef. It's no bull, we really do have better beef 4 U...

Heather Ridge Farm is located in the Northern Catskill Mountains, in upstate New York. Located on old dairy pastures with hundreds of ancient apple trees, we’re a new farm that’s 200 years old. Our products are offered primarily at our on-farm store or within a day's shipping region. You can also check New York's Beyond the Farm page to find restaurants or farmers markets that feature our products.

We offer pork, beef, lamb, chickens and turkeys, fresh in season and frozen all year. We make our own artisan sausages, pates, mustards and many other specialty products.

All our animals and birds (and bees!) are lovingly raised in small groups on pasture in the fresh air with mountain spring water. The cattle and lamb are entirely grass fed, and the pigs, chickens and turkeys have all the fresh grass they want as well as being supplemented with a natural grain mix we have custom-made to order.

Our animals receive no antibiotics, no hormones, no animal by-products in their feed and there are no chemical fertilizers used on the pastures.

We get our animals from other family farms in the region that breed them meeting our high standards. Our cattle are of the Angus, Hereford, Devon breeds. Our pigs both Old Spots and the red Tamworth “Irish-Rover” heritage breed. We have started our own flock of sheep this year.

We offer our own award-winning raw honey. Many varieties of gourmet garlic and fresh culinary herbs are grown on farm, because we love them! We use organic growing methods, but we are not certified. As we restore our orchards, we have apple wood to create a delicious smoke for your barbecues. And we’re always developing new products!

Hickory Field Farm is a small family-run farm located in Orange County, NY.  We are dedicated to raising our animals in a natural, low stress environment to ensure they have the best quality of life possible. 

Our beef cows have access to pasture 365 days a year within our rotational grazing model, and are a combination of Miniature Herefords and Lowline Angus. These smaller cattle require less pasture, are less damaging to the land, have shorter muscle fibers (which results in more tender beef), and produce steaks that are much closer to recommended serving sizes. 

We also have pastured poultry; we use a heritage breed called "Freedom Rangers" that excel on pasture and have an excellent flavor. Their diet is supplemented with an organic feed composed entirely of locally produced ingredients. Our laying hens free range around the farm daily, and produce absolutely delicious eggs.

All products are currently only available for on farm pick up or delivery. Please contact us for availability or to reserve a product.

Honey Hill Highlands is a family farm located in Upstate New York. We have been raising pastured Highland cattle since 1982.

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). Highland and Highland crosses have graded in the top of their respective classes at the prestigious National Western Stock Show in Denver, CO. In the British Isles, Highland Beef is recognized as the finest available and fetches premium prices. The British Royal family keeps a large herd of Highlands at Balmoral Castle, Scotland and considers them their beef of choice.

All the beef sold is born and raised on our farm. We sell split quarters and sides. These are available in June and October due to the seasonal nature of the grass flush in New York. We only sell to those who can pick up at the USDA processing plant. Supply is limited, so order early.

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

Our principal crops are certified organic-pasture raised chickens & beef, 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. Our Black Angus steers are grass fed and finished offering only organic minerals and kelp. We feed no grain and do not medicate.

Our products are available in various Rochester area locations during the growing season.  We attend South Wedge Farmers Market Thursdays 4-8pm, Canandaigua Farmers Market Saturdays 8:30am-12:30 and Brighton Farmers Market Sundays 9-1PM. Our chickens are regularly served at the top restaurants in the Rochester Region!

Kezialain Farm, in Orange County NY, has been in our family for over 200 years. We see ourselves as stewards of this land that has supported us for eight generations, which is why we raise 100% grass-fed, (NOFA-NY) certified organic beef cattle. They thrive on the native grasses and plants that grow naturally in the fields; they fit in with the fields, forest, streams and wetlands on our farm to keep this mini-ecosystem healthy.

The cattle eat only their mother’s milk, our pasture and hay, and organic minerals like kelp. We don’t use growth hormones, routine antibiotics, harmful medications, artificial fertilizers or dangerous substances in the fields. This all makes Kezialain beef is the healthiest kind of beef you can buy – both totally grass-fed and organic. (Plus, it tastes good!)

Our beef is processed at a small organic USDA slaughterhouse where we know our cattle are treated well. The meat is dry aged for 10–14 days to enhance flavor and tenderness. It is vacuum packed and frozen as soon as it is processed. We sell our beef on the farm by mixed quarters; in 20- and 40-pound variety packs; and 10 or 20 pounds packs of ground beef. You can also buy Kezialain Beef by the piece at three stores in the area: Pleasant Stone Farm, Middletown, NY; Soons Orchard, New Hampton, NY; Rogowski Farm Market and CSA, Pine Island, NY.

We try to have meat available year round, but sometimes run low. We suggest that you contact us before you want to buy to reserve what you want. More information on the farm and our meat, including a video, is on our website.

Kinderhook Farm consists of several hundred acres of pastures and hay meadows located in the Hudson Valley of New York. We raise beef cattle 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. The most important thing that we do is allow our cattle to be cattle. They 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 to the cattle 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 along with farm fresh pasture eggs and one of the best views in the Hudson Valley. We also accept orders for whole and half beef (around 225 to 275 pounds of meat). We're open every day although we may be out doing chores around the farm when you arrive. Please call us on our cell phones and we'll meet you at the store.

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.

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.

Nectar Hills Farm is located on the beautiful rolling hills of Otsego County, 3 hours and 1/2 from NYC, 1 hour away from Albany, and close driving distance from Oneonta, Cobleskill and Cooperstown. The Betty and Wilbur Davis state Park is only a mile away from the farm, where you can rent rustic cabins, fish, swim, hike, bicycle ridding, etc.

We have 239 acres of divine beauty, pastures, hay fields, an old charming apple orchard, springs all over, a swampy area that we keep wild, and a creek that runs most of the year. To complement this picture, there is an old farm house, part of which is stone and a menagerie of animals that enhance the landscape. Our land is certified organic, and certified naturally grown; our goal is to become certified biodynamic by Demeter.

We believe farmers are the doctors of the future. They will grow food which will nourish people, creating minds capable of higher thought and reason and bodies full of energy.

We produce grass fed lamb and beef and pasture raised pork and eggs, also vegetables, herbs, apples and honey when in season.

The food revolution: Healing veggies, meat as medicine, fresh buttery eggs, sunlight, grass, spring water, pasture raised.

We care for the soil and the animals that nourish us, and we intend to preserve this gift for future generations.

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.

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.

Raindance Farm is introducing "Sun Cheese," our artisinal 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 to found the CLA at an impressive 1.96 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 milk fed pork for sale at the farm and at the 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.

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.
