The Roaming Acres Farm

The pastures get no artificial fertiliser or pesticides, just composted manure and the odd dressing of lime, and the animals eat non GMO feed from a local Amish mill. Meat chickens live in open bottomed pens moved twice a day and are butchered on the farm, while Dexter cattle, a heritage breed from Ireland, graze rotationally for grass fed and finished beef.

Free ranging hens lay eggs all year round, and the family also sells raw unfiltered honey harvested by gravity rather than an extractor, maple syrup tapped each spring, goat milk soap and grass fed beef tallow. There are no fixed hours, so contact the farm to arrange collection, and a herd share is listed on the website.
