River Cottage Farm

 

“I dislike the thought that some animal has been made miserable to feed me. If I am going to eat meat, I want it to be from an animal that has lived a pleasant, uncrowded life outdoors, on bountiful pasture, with good water nearby and trees for shade.”
― Wendell Berry

Each and every day, we head out to the pastures and work to support every part of the growing cycle;

maintaining the perfect balance of minerals in the soil, raising the healthiest grass to feed our livestock, and supporting our animals throughout their lives so they can live and produce well.

From start to finish, our process stays true to a single motivation: providing you, our customers, with the nutrition you seek, helping you to make healthy choices, and gain back the lost knowledge of The Art of Eating. 

Your choice to support our farm places you within that regenerative cycle, and we couldn’t do what we do without you.  

$6.00lb – $14.00lb

Pastured Chicken

Our chickens are raised on pasture and fed a Non GMO feed. They live their entire lives (4 months vs. 52 days for a commercially grown bird) chasing down bugs, basking in the sun and roaming our pastures.

$6.00 – 16.50lb

Pastured Pork

Our pastured piggies spend their days rummaging and foraging through pastures and woods. Allowing our pigs to be pigs throughout their entire lives keeps them healthy and produces the healthiest, most sumptuous pork on the planet.

$7.50- 9.50lb

Grass Fed Ground Beef

It seems impossible that one patty in a conventionally raised beef contains the meat from over a hundred cows but it’s true. Each pound of ground beef from River Cottage Farm comes from one single, pasture raised cow!

$8.00 – $13.00

Raw Milk Dairy

What kind of dairy allows cows and calves to remain together, only milks once a day, and never feeds grain in any form. We do! We utilize regenerative practices to maintain the health of our animals, our customers, our community, and our planet.

$5.00 – $28.00

Grass Fed Beef

Raising 100% Grass Fed and Finished beef and lamb is the hope of many regenerative farmers for the healing of our planet. Support your local farmer as we work to heal the planet, one plate at a time.

$9.00 – $25.00

100 % Grass Fed Lamb

One of the biggest compliments a sheep farmer can get is to be told that your lamb is the best in the country.  We’ve heard those words from many different people, from many different countries.  We agree!

$5.00 – $25.00

Sustainable Yarn

Our yarn starts it’s journey two full years before it reaches your capable hands. The care of our lambs while still in utero determines the quality of the yarn we spin. Fleeces, roving, and yarn are available.
