For some time now, we've been offering local food to the Mohawk Valley community from our own WintersGrass Farm. And from time-to-time, we've offered items from other local farmers, including great tasting "GMO free" eggs from our friends at Hilltop Organics Farm, and pastured pork from Grazin' Pig...
Over the holidays it was decided that it was time for WintersGrass Farm to catch up to the 21st century. Cows and pigs and grass have been around for a long, long time... mobile credit card readers?? Not as long. So we have several things in the works right now to get us caught up to modern times, ...
One question I often get from both new and repeat customers who are buying a quarter or half of beef is, "what sort of cuts do I get from my quarter?"
Well, I've been going over numbers and weighing all the different cuts when we bring beef and pork home from the butcher and I now have some more sp...
Three years ago Hannah and I moved to our current farm and started setting it up. The goal was to build up a small raw milk dairy along with other pastured grown meats. So I started setting things up, fencing in the fields, cleaning up and repairing the milk house, as well as buying a few milk cows...
One thing I've come to realize over the last several years is that as an individual farmer, its impossible to do everything. At least without going crazy and sacrificing product quality. This has led to us scaling the farm back to just raw milk, grassfed beef, and some pastured turkeys. Many of you...
Over the last few years one of the things I've come to realize is that I need to focus on just a couple things to really make sure we are always offering a quality product. Especially with a young family now I just don't have the time to do everything. So WintersGrass Farm will not be raising pastur...
We finally have all four of the test results in and all four of them were clean, no listeria. As I mentioned previously I will be posting the results online so everyone can see what we test for, and what the results are. I have to figure out what format to upload them as plus it usually takes awhile...
I know it's been a little quite over here but we have been working hard and are getting back in the swing of things. As of today we've had 2 out of 2 clean milk samples and waiting on results from the third. (should know tomorrow) I plan on being more active here again but for now just wanted to sha...
One big reason there has been rise in the local farmers producing and selling directly to friends, neighbors, and other members of the community is that people have become more skeptical of big ag and how their food is produced. You all want to know how your food is produced and where it comes from....
There are two kinds of northerners. Those that can't wait to move to warmer climates, away from the months of snowy days, the subzero temperatures, and the often snowy, cloudy days. Then there are those that not only deal with the winters, but embrace and love them. The crisp clean air, crunchy snow...
