Our family farms in Washington County (and 1 in Delaware County) are cooperating to offer our customers regular deliveries of wholesome foods from our region. Among us, we raise and harvest a variety of foods including:

We share many values and management practices and have a strong attachment and commitment to the land and to our communities. We practice sustainable agriculture, promoting the improvement of the whole environment. The practice of rotational grazing encourages the livestock and poultry to graze pastures efficiently. We share a commitment to provide our customers with the highest quality products we can produce, raised carefully with as few additives as possible and always humanely. By raising our animals with humane loving care, we improve the health and well-being of our animals, and therefore the health of us all. Most of our products never leave their farm until they are ready to be delivered to your door. For the animals, we do our best to minimize stress at slaughter time by processing the meats in nearby USDA-inspected plants. Consequently our products are processed fresher, spend less time in storage, and are shipped shorter distances to our customers, compared to those available in typical markets.

3 Corner Field Farm ~ Natural, Grass Fed Dairy Sheep & Lamb

Karen Weinberg and Paul Borghard, Salem, NY www.dairysheepfarm.com

3-Corner Field Farm is nestled in the Battenkill River Valley at the foothills of the Green Mountains on the border of New York and Vermont. We are one of the few farms in the country that milk sheep for use in the production of gourmet cheeses and yogurt. Our sheep are raised with care and respect on beautiful, organically managed pastures, and never given hormones or unnecessary antibiotics. They are raised the old-fashioned way: outdoors, on pasture, eating natural grass, clover, and alfalfa. The result is tastier and more wholesome food for you, a better life for our sheep, and a healthier environment for all of us.

Argyllshire Lamb Natural ~ Grass-fed & Finished Lamb

Barbara Peters, Argyle, NY www.argyllshirefarm.com

Argyllshire Lamb farm specializes in grass-fed and grass-finished lamb. Barbara Peters subscribes to the philosophy that the more natural the animals diet, the better the meat tastes and the better nutritionally it is for you. The lamb is all grass and hay fed and is natural, and free of hormones or feed additives. She feeds no grain. She is enthusiastic about this opportunity and hopes you'll find her quality products delicious.

Cloonshee Farm Natural ~ Pastured Chicken & Turkey

Roy & Marney Hurwitz, Hobart, NY

Our customer is someone seeking an alternative to factory farm produce, someone who is willing to pay a little bit more for our chickens and our fall turkeys raised in a humane and healthy way. Our birds have access to fresh pasture and sunshine. They are clean and healthy, producing fine flavored meat. Our birds are processed at a nearby USDA facility and fresh frozen.

Consider Bardwell Farm ~ Natural Pastured Goat's Milk Cheese

Angela Miller, West Pawlet VT www.considerbardwellfarm.com

Straddling the rolling hills of Vermont's Champlain Valley and easternmost Washington County New York, 300-acre CONSIDER BARDWELL FARM was the first cheese making co-op in Vermont, collecting fresh milk each day from surrounding farms from 1864 to 1932 and shipping big wheels of cheddar on the local railroad to Albany and beyond. A century later, Russell Glover and Angela Miller, the farm's owners since 2001, are revitalizing the tradition with goat's milk from their herd of registered Oberhaslis. Fed by rotational grazing on pesticide-free and fertilizer-free pastures along with organic grain produces the sweet and pure milk. Nationally known cheesemaker, Peter Kindel, developed the cheeses with Consider Bardwell's Cheesemaker and Dairy Manager, Peggy Galloup.

Harry's Honey House ~ Wildflower Honey

Derek Woodcock, Cambridge, NY

In spring, summer and fall we place our hives of bees at various farms in the southern end of Washington County, including Lewis Waite Farm. In the winter the hives are moved to a location where they can be protected from the wintry winds. In order to harvest and keep honey as a liquid, it must be heated and filtered. We use the lowest heat possible and simple straining methods to try to retain the nutritional benefits of the pollens that make honey a healthy food. We carry raw unheated too, to capture all the healthy benefits. Honey is a food that does not spoil.

Laughing Pig Farm ~ Eggs from Pastured Chickens

Annie & Joe Dileo, Greenwich, NY

At Annie and Joe's farm the chickens can as Annie says, do what they want when they want to do it. They feed on grass, bugs, and a natural poultry feed also without animal proteins, hormones or antibiotics. There is no rooster with the hens at either of the farm, so the eggs are infertile. Their chicken breeds include Black Australorps, Cherry Eggers, Light Brahmas, White Wyandottes which makes a very colorful spectacle in the barnyard.

Lewis Waite Farm ~ Grass-Fed & Finished Beef & Natural Pork

Alan & Nancy Brown, 135 Lewis Hill Lane, Jackson, NY 12834, 518-692-3120
www.lewiswaitefarm.com  ~  nkdbrown@lewiswaitefarm.com

Alan & Nancy have been organic gardening and raising animals since we were children growing up in Connecticut. Our beef business began in 1967 on a small scale (4 cows) and has grown since then to over 120 head. We breed and raise about 30 corn fed pigs each year and coddle our horse, donkey, cats and dog. Since 2003, we have been selling our vacuum packaged frozen beef and pork directly to the consumer. We believe that our technique of raising beef produces the healthiest meat as our cattle's diet is exclusively grass and hay, water, air, salt, and trace minerals. Unlike many grass-fed operations, our cattle are not fed grains for their last few months. Although we are not certified organic, we practice organic techniques on our 440-acre farm.

Saunders Farm ~ Eggs from Pastured Chickens

Keith & Lisa Saunders, Easton, NY

The Saunders have a variety of animals; dairy cows, beef cattle, sheep, pigs, chickens and a few barn cats. Their dairy practices are innovative in this locale, using rotational grazing techniques with their dairy cows. They are raise their chickens using pastured techniques in summer and in hoop houses through the winter. Their eggs are produced year round and are very fresh and natural.

Sugar Mill Farm ~ Pure NY Maple Syrup

John & Michelle Reid, Greenwich, NY

We gather all of our sap from our farm's trees and from our neighbor's woodlot. We have a state of the art sap house that is wood-fired, uses reverse osmosis filtering for the sap and diatomaceous earth filtering for the syrup. We produce beautiful, sweet, golden maple syrup. We add nothing to our sap or syrup during the processing; it is simply the rich, delicious flavor of the sugar maple tree filtered for purity.

We hope you'll consider our healthy, pure products from our beautiful family farms in Washington and Delaware Counties of New York. Help us to live the ideal of eating fresh, local foods to sustain our environment, our health and our economy.
