The name means green grass in Italian, and that is the whole idea: the farm grows good grass and the animals do the rest. The cattle graze organic pasture with no antibiotics and no artificial hormones, the pigs live out on pasture and move to fresh grass regularly with only local grain and whey used as a supplement, and the chickens are Freedom Rangers left to forage in the open.

WintersGrass FarmRaw milk, meat & eggs · SauquoitWintersGrass Farm sits in the Sauquoit Valley of New York, about 10 minutes from the city of Utica, and is run by Jordan and Hannah Winters. Jordan grew up in the Utica area and spent a year apprenticing under Joel Salatin at Polyface Farm in 2006 before coming home to start the farm. In 2012 he managed Maple Hill Creamery's 100 percent grassfed dairy at Little Falls, then spent a year in Virginia supplying raw milk to local families through a herdshare, and that is the work that set him on the raw milk path. Hannah grew up on her father's small hobby farm in Minnesota and moved to New York in 2014. The couple leased their present farm in 2015, and since April 2016 it has held a New York State raw milk dairy license, the first and still the only one in Oneida County.
The farm calls itself pasture based and beyond organic. The herd is moved daily on rotational grazing, and the animals raised on that grass become 100 percent grassfed raw milk, 100 percent grassfed beef, pastured pork and GMO free pastured eggs. Chicken and turkey are not available at present. Cuts are processed and vacuum packed by Jordan Brandt of Red Barn Meats in Croghan, and sold from the farm store alongside bulk beef and pork in quarters, halves and whole animals. You can collect on the farm, or have an order shipped to your door.Rebuilding the food system, from the farm up
