All Meat Is Grass!

Great tasting, nutritious meat comes from animals raised on high quality feed in healthy growing conditions. The best feed is grass, rich in minerals and nutrients.  However, high quality grass requires nutrient rich soil. Through years of modern confinement farming, with chemical fertilizers and pesticides, much of the soil has been stripped of vital minerals and nutrients necessary for animals  that are both healthy and nutritious.  

Over time, pasture-based, Salatin style intensive grazing, can restore the soil.  At Winters Grass Farm, we employ intensive grazing to fulfill our goal of providing you, our customer, with real food that is healthy, nutritious, and most importantly, food that tastes great. We use no antibiotics or growth hormones, but prefer methods that ensure that our animals are healthy with strong immune systems. Our systems are all pasture based. We want the animals outside where they get plenty of exercise, sunshine, and fresh air, and eat what they are designed to eat. 

At Winters Grass Farm, we firmly believe that the way a person farms affects not only the farmer, but also the land, the community, and the people who buy from him. Our desire is to offer the highest quality beef, pork, chicken, turkey, and eggs you will find in New York State.

Winters Grass Farm is located in the Mohawk Valley just north of the city of Utica.

In 2006, Jordan was privileged to apprentice for one year on Joel Salatin’s Polyface Farm in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley where he worked with one of the foremost speakers and authors in the pasture-based farming movement. (We highly recommend Joel’s book “Holy Cows & Hog Heaven” for a great basic introduction to grass-fed farming.)
