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: Absolute Pastured Poultry raises all-natural chickens on pastures in the scenic Sugarloaf Valley near the foot of Sugarloaf Mountain located close to Interstates I-80 and I-81. Our farm is miles away from "industry" in the heart of prime agricultural land with excellent deep well water and pastures that have only been used for natural grass for over 25 years. We initially began raising chickens for ourselves, but found that others were also interested in healthier, highest quality, naturally raised chicken that are never fed any antibiotics, hormones or animal by-products. Our flocks are Cornish/Rock cross birds that produce excellent quality, hearty tasting chicken weighing between 4–7 pounds. Currently, we begin in the Spring and are able to raise multiple flocks of 50–60 chickens each throughout the summer and into fall. Ordering is by pre-arrangement before and during this time period. You MUST contact us ahead of time and plan for receipt of your order shortly after processing. We do not presently store large amounts of meat for winter sales. Contact us today for details on how to place an order that will fill your freezer with great tasting, high quality, natural pastured poultry at reasonable prices!

PA 18353. (610) 381-6152. Auburn Meadow Farm. It's true! Slow growing, old fashioned British breeds make some of the juiciest, most flavorful grass fed beef around. Meat rich with beefy flavor and fine, juicy texture – all on a grass only diet – special enough to be included on the Slow Foods Ark of Taste! Our herd of rare American Milking Devons are about as close to their British roots as can be. We began our work raising cattle as a direct response to animal welfare, food quality and environmental issues. We follow non-certified organic methods and the cattle eat only grass and hay grown here at home. Our cows live a happy, natural life of grazing with their buddies, with plenty of spring water & free choice shelter from cold, rain & blazing sun. In beef cattle, there is a documented relationship between high butterfat content in the milk and superior marbling in the beef. And, a scientific reason the flavor and texture of the meat from smaller breeds given longer to mature is so much finer. We have taken great pains to resist the temptation to breed for increased size and beef yield thereby preserving the rich milk that made these cows such a treasure in their native Devonshire, England. You’ve heard of Devonshire cream, haven’t you? Well these girls invented it… We are located just about an hour north of Pittsburgh, and ten minutes from Boardman, Ohio. We have limited amount of beef available each summer and are excited to share it with you. Don't miss out; when it’s gone, it’s gone until next year! Auburn Meadow Farm, Jackie Cleary, 164 Bedford Road, West Middlesex PA 16159. (412) 600-5826.

Baytree Farm is 180 acres of grass pasture and hayfields, located in southern Venango County just minutes from Interstate 80. We have lived here over 30 years and run around 200 ewes. We are a pasture-based, grass fed lamb producing operation. We do not use hormones or antibiotics. Since we like to be outside, we know that the sheep do also; hence we offer the flock unlimited access to rotationally grazed pastures. Here they can get all the fresh air, sunshine, clean water and exercise they desire. We make all the forage here for winter feeding. At Baytree Farm we produce different size lambs for different markets. Many of our lambs are sold at 60-75 pounds live weight and are in high demand at the markets. We do keep some lambs to a larger size for specific customer needs. Our lambs are only available as whole animals which we deliver free to a local USDA-inspected market for processing. Every effort is made to accommodate special requests. Delivery is optional at an additional fee. Please visit our website for more information. We strive to do our absolute best for our sheep and lambs as well as all of our animals. We have been given the opportunity and privilege of raising sheep on our farm and work very hard to provide the most humane and conservation-minded environment for them. We have most recently completed and passed the first phase of the Sheep Safety and Quality Assurance Program sponsored by the American Sheep Industry Association.

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.

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. Beef is available on a preorder basis, by the quarter, half and whole; cut to your specifications at a local USDA inspected slaughter house.

Road, Lisbon
OH 44432. Fax: (330) 482-0767. Buckland Farm is situated in Southern Bedford County, half an hour’s drive off Route 30 in Pennsylvania and Interstate 68 in Maryland. This scenic farm is home to pastured Tamworth cross pigs and the whole hog and hog-share pork into which they are made. Buckland Farm’s Tamworth cross herds are born in a farrowing center on the home acres and then moved to woodland pasturage when they’re weaned. The sows also reside in fresh pasture while they gestate. Our pigs eat cull from our 2.5 acre, organically producing vegetable gardens. In addition, they receive a daily supplement of freshly ground and locally grown (though not organically certified) feed as well as produce seconds from a locally focused grocery store. In season (July through November) our hogs enjoy daily access to apples. The pastured pigs regularly receive sprouted acorns from October into January. Our pork is called a revelation by all who taste it—including numerous ethical vegetarians who willingly delight in pork-based meals if the pork comes from our pigs. We have a range of live-weight hogs: old sows (600 lbs), ‘lard’ pigs (325-450 lbs), standard commercial weight pigs (225-250 lbs) and smaller pigs for whole-hog roasts (40-125 lbs). The butcher at the local meat locker is a genius, and very reasonably priced. We’re happy to get you comfortable with the hog-share process. To enjoy a Buckland Farm egg is to lose your pleasure in virtually any egg from anywhere else. Our chickens are guarded by a rooster. Our fully pastured flock roams very freely across the home acres, into the heirloom produce gardens and sometimes as far as the antique apple orchard or the heirloom cherry orchard. Buckland Farm is only 2.5 hours drive from DC or Baltimore. It’s about the same drive time from Pittsburgh. Come and visit the farm to see ‘your’ pig on the hoof, you won’t be disappointed. You’re welcome to see our pigmanship practices in action at any time. Contact us to make a reservation to possess yourself of premium fully–pastured Tamworth cross flesh. Our expert staff can bring you up to speed with recipes and techniques for homemade lard, bacon, sausages, and more! You’ll find there’s surprising value in using every part of the hogshare available to you. Buckland Farm, Dan Ernest, 793 Morral Road, Clearville PA 15535. (814) 784-9956.

We raise Icelandic sheep on pasture for custom meat and wool products. These sheep are a mountain breed, known for mild flavor and thriving on grass alone. We don't castrate and let the lambs wean naturally to reduce stress and keep gains high. We believe in farming as naturally as possible, deworming only when needed and not on a regular schedule. By improving the land through intensive grazing and pasture rotation, we build up the fertility of the soil and with a balanced custom mineral/vitamin blend, our sheep are rarely in need of antibiotics. There will be about 10 lambs available in late Summer/Fall 2009. Reservations are first come, first served. You can expect 35-45 pounds hanging weight from these delicious lambs. Please contact Amanda to reserve your lamb and we'll arrange a butchering date with you. You can specify your cuts from our local custom butcher. No shipping available, but farm visitors are welcome and individual cuts are for sale on farm. We also have fresh free-range eggs and vegetables available on a limited basis.

Road, Spring
Mills PA 16875. (814) 364-9171. Coulter Farms lies quietly nestled
between Shade Mountain and Tuscarora Mountain in Juniata
County, midway Our family manages the rotational grazing of 120 acres of rolling multi-speciated pasture and 90 acres of productive hay fields (organic as of Fall, 2007). We practice a purely organic farming system, relying exclusively on biological systems to achieve excellence in our soils/pastures/harvested forage/animals. Rotational grazing, cover crops, composting of manure, no-tillage seeding and conservative crop rotations are used extensively. Only the cleanest water runs off our land. We have eliminated all chemical, synthetic, antibiotic inputs and strive to reduce fossil fuel use while making the best possible use of solar fuel. Ruminant animals at Coulter Farms never taste any form of grain...only mother's milk, lush pasture and fermented hay. Our two-year-old steers (8-month-old lambs) are fully finished, giving ample marbling to the meat. This marbling produces the highest levels of CLA and Omega 3's (not to mention taste and tenderness) in the meat. Wintering beef over a second winter to an age of 24-26 months is time-consuming, but we feel you'll agree that it is well worth the wait. Processing is handled humanely in a local, USDA certified abattoir. Two to three weeks aging results in the highest levels of taste and tenderness. The product is skillfully cut, flash-frozen and cryo-vac packed to maximize quality and longevity. A walk-in freezer at our farm allows us to maintain some inventory of meat, but most animals are pre-ordered (you may come select your animal on the hoof' if you like). Beef is available in quarters (approximately 100 pounds), halves or whole animals. We would appreciate the opportunity to provide your family with what is, we are confident, the best meat available in the grass-fed market. Call or email us for more information. If you come to see us, please remember to bring your kids and boots so we can show you around. Coulter Farms, Kinley and Rebecca Coulter, 964 Price Road, Honey

We are located in Westminster, MD with easy access from Baltimore, MD; Washington, DC; Frederick, MD; and south-central Pennsylvania. Although we are not certified organic, we run our farm in a sustainable manner. We support local food systems, better stewardship of our land, and raising animals with respect. We offer seasonal shares of our produce, meats, poultry and eggs. We raise fork-tender Dexter/Belted Galloway beef cattle, wonderfully mild tasting Katahdin lambs, and flavorful heritage and Berkshire hogs.

Our lambs and beef are grass-fed and all our animals are raised hormone, antibiotic, and steroid free. We follow natural sustainable farming practices, including rotational grazing. Grazing on open pasture helps with the general health of the animals: they get exercise, absorb sunshine, and breathe fresh air. They seem happier that way, and we are, too. All of our meat is USDA inspected for quality. You have several options when purchasing our meats and poultry for your freezer. Multi-Season CSA meat, poultry and egg shares available. Check our website for price and availability. We are a small family farm, so quantities are limited. Please call or email with any questions. Evermore Farm, Ginger Myers, 150

We offer grass fed beef, free-range poultry, and pasture-raised pork, as well as fresh produce and numerous other products. Our calves and steer are strictly grass fed and are not given any grains. Our veal calves have free choice of their own mother’s milk and grass, which does lead to a redder meat than store bought veal (they are not given access to any grass). Meats from our grass fed cows are very nutritious and have far more vitamins, minerals and healthy fats than meats from grain fed cattle. Our poultry comes from chickens that have free access to pasture, fresh water and fresh air. They are not confined to a chicken house or cages or fed antibiotics. They roam freely around the pasture surrounding our portable chicken coop where they roost at night. Our pigs are raised on pasture just like our other animals. They freely roam our orchard where they eat fallen fruits, as well as food scraps that we provide them. Our bacon and hams are nitrate free. Since 2009, the farm began the transition to natural farming methods and minimize our use of chemicals. We became interested in natural farming through reading some books written by Joel Salatin. We do our best to keep our prices reasonable, so that our customers can afford the nutritious, wholesome food that natural farming provides. Fairview Fruit Farm, Menno S.

PA 17013. (717) 245-2820. Locustbrae is a family owned and operated grass farm selling, since 1978, the highest quality pasture-raised beef. 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. Cattle are finished on pasture grasses and harvested seasonally, in harmony with the nutrition that Mother Nature provides. 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 are located just 15 miles from the New York/Pennsylvania border. Locustbrae Farm, Fion and Kimberly MacCrea, 6404

Our customers reserve their meat in the spring with a deposit and pick it up at the farm cut, wrapped, and frozen at a USDA facility. Lamb and pork come in the fall. Chickens come in 3 or 4 batches throughout summer and fall. Veal is ready at various times during the year, so interested folks email us to get on the Veal List. Our production philosophy is to raise our animals under as natural conditions as possible. The sheep are on pasture except for 6 weeks before lambing, when they come inside for shearing and close observation. We may feed a small amount of grain at this time, if the hay is not providing enough energy for fetal growth and milk production. The pigs live outside and move through new paddocks frequently. The chickens live on grass with portable shelters. Our veal calves roam the meadows with their Jersey momma cows, forming the cutest cow herd you've ever seen. Our health care focuses on prevention and homeopathic remedies when needed. Check out our website or come visit! Owens Farm, Caroline Owens, 2611

Paradise Gardens and Farm LLC has the first and only USDA organic produce in Jefferson-Elk-Clearfield counties (certified by Pennsylvania Certified Organic) and the first licensed goat dairy/creamery in northwest PA. Our pastured goats graze rotationally on our certified organic pastures, which were established on a USDA Environmental Quality Incentive Program (EQIP) grant. In winter they get our certified organic hay with less than a pound of sweet feed at milking for their mineral balance, with our organic corn. The chickens follow the goats on the pastures and produce rich orange-yolked eggs for our CSA. We are "relationship farmers," cultivating good relations with our animals and observing their relationships with each other. Mothers raise their young. All are friendly. Our organic vegetables, fruits, and herbs and pastured eggs go to our CSA. Our farmstead artisan cheeses include: chevre, feta, Paradise Fresco and Pepper Fresco, St. Maure, ricotta, and now mozzarella. We also sell bottled goat milk. We sell our goat kids for dairy, weed control, pets, or meat, but not for auction. Find more information and lots of photos at our farm's website.

PA 16407. (814) 663-0556. 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. Pure Indian Foods, Sandeep and Nalini Agarwal, PO

We raise 100% grass fed beef. They graze on pasture for 9-10 months of the year using rotational grazing techniques. They spend 2-3 months in an open sided barn and are fed only hay. Our pigs live 100% of the time in wooded areas and their feed consists of what they find in the woods along with some organic but mostly non-certified, non-GMO grains and roasted soybeans. The sheep are 100% grass fed and graze with the cow herd. The goats occupy the same area as the pigs and eat brush along with a little of the grain provided for the pigs. Our laying hens and broilers spend 100% of their time on pasture. We raise broilers on pasture from March until October only. The laying hens stay out all year. All poultry eat non-certified but non-GMO grains. We believe that the only way to guarantee that the food you eat is healthy, safe and nutritious is to know the farmer who produced it. We sell the products of the farm from a historic barn on the farm so that our customers can see our animals and our farming practices. We encourage you to tour the farm and ask us questions. By purchasing food from Wyebrook Farm, you support the local community and ensure that this part of Chester County retains the agricultural character that has made it one of the most productive and beautiful places in America.
