Welcome to Heather Ridge Farm! |
|
Welcome to Heather Ridge Farm, high in the Catskill Mountains. Located on old dairy pastures with hundreds of ancient apple trees, we’re a new farm that’s 200 years old. All our animals and birds (and bees!) are lovingly raised in small groups on pasture in the fresh air with mountain spring water. The cattle and lamb are entirely grass fed, and the pigs, chickens and turkeys have all the fresh grass they want as well as being supplemented with a natural grain mix we have custom-made to order. A grass diet assures the highest possible level of healthy CLAs and Omega 3’s in the meat as well as a lean and tasty product. Our animals receive no antibiotics, no hormones, no animal by-products in their feed and there are no chemical fertilizers used on the pastures. We get our animals from other family farms in the region that breed them meeting our high standards. Our cattle are of the Angus, Hereford, Devon breeds. Our pigs both spotted white Yorkshire-Landracer-Hampshire mix and the red Tamworth “Irish-Rover” heritage breed. Many varieties of gourmet garlic and fresh culinary herbs are grown on farm, because we love them! We use organic growing methods, but we are not certified. As we restore our orchards, we have apple wood to create a delicious smoke for your barbecues. And we’re always developing new products! Carol and John |
