Locally Raised Meats

We are a small family farm with a focus on rare heritage breed animals that thrive on our rough northern hillsides in Norwich, Vermont.

Our animals are raised outside in the fresh Vermont air year-round. They graze on organic pastures and the pigs and poultry are fed grain free from hormones or antibiotics from Green Mountain Feed. We specialize in rare breeds for several reasons. The meat from heritage breeds is far more flavorful then the factory farm meat found in supermarkets today.These breeds fit our cold, rough terrain and can be outside all year.Also, preserving these rare breeds protects genetic diversity.

Our Belted Galloway cattle, known to many as the ‘Oreo’ cows, graze on a historic farm in the Root District of Norwich, Vermont. Our Tamworth pigs root in the woods and fields making best use of their foraging and tilling abilities. Our products include organically grass-fed and finished beef, natural pork, chicken and turkey, organic eggs, organic horse hay, straw and Tamworth breeding stock and feeder piglets.

We raise our animals outside year-round because the animals are happier and produce a better product. Pasture-raised meat and eggs are idea for your health. Compared with commercial products, they offer you more “good” fats and fewer “bad” fats. They are richer in antioxidants, including Vitamin E, Vitamin C and beta-carotene. Furthermore, they do not contain traces of added hormones, antibiotics or other drugs. Meat from grass-fed animals have two to four times more Omega-3 fatty acids than meat from grain-fed animals.
