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, 1990 Stedman Road, Attica NY 14011 (585) 591-2685.

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!

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.

Farm we
raise grass fed beef on our organic Our calves stay with mothers getting their milk naturally until weaning age, by which time they are naturally eating grass and drinking water anyway. At weaning they stay within sight of each other for comfort and later are back in the same pasture with the others when they are fully weaned. 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 beef. Beef is sold "on the hoof" only, by the side or split quarters. You'll save a lot of money over the same amount of inferior beef from the supermarket. We use a custom processor who will cut, wrap, and freeze your beef to your specification. We're sure you'll be happy with them. So call us if you're ready for some REAL beef.

We like to know where and how our food was raised, and are offering this opportunity to others who may be concerned about the diverse effects of factory farming on our food supply and environment. Located 25 miles east of Syracuse, 7 miles north of Cazanovia, we offer pastured broilers, fresh-air pork, 100% grassfed beef, and fresh eggs from pastured hens. All our livestock is rotationally grazed to optimize the health of the animals and to insure quality forage for the health benefit of the consumer. Drug-free, no chemical fertilizers or pesticides, no antibiotics or growth hormones. We sell pork and beef by the whole or half, available in fall, and we have monthly processing dates June through October for our broilers. Stock up on our daily supply of eggs. Buying by the whole or half is definitely cheaper than by the cut; consider investing is a chest freezer and have a stash of heart-healthy meat at your fingertips! We have customer inspection. Stop in or call anytime Monday – Saturday. Ingallside Meadows Farm, Daniel Kline and Joanna Kline, 3111 Ingalls Corner Road, Canastota NY 13032. (315) 655-3804. Kezialain Farm, located between the Hudson and Delaware Rivers in New York, has been in our family for over 200 years. We see ourselves as stewards of the land that has supported us for eight generations, and raising 100% grass fed beef cattle, certified organic by NOFA-NY LLC, is one way we protect this land. Our fields have been certified for nearly 10 years, but this is the first year our meat comes from certified organic cattle. We also sell what we call naturally raised meat, from cattle that weren’t born under organic standards but in every other way have been raised like our organic animals most or all of their lives. We sell our beef by the mixed quarter; in 20- and 40- pound variety packs; and 10 or 20 pounds of ground beef. We’re flexible: if you want another combination, contact us. Meat is available at the farm, let us know when you can come. IMPORTANT: While our cattle are certified organic, our meat is not. They’re processed in a small USDA slaughterhouse that is not certified organic. We think that being trucked many hours to the closest organic facility would be unnecessarily stressful for our cattle.

Bruynswick Road, Gardiner NY 12525 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.

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. Natural Borders Farm, Elva Svendsen or Kris

647-5043. 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.

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 and Paul
