Our Passion Runs Deep

It takes a lot of heart to do what we do everyday.

The days are long and the weather can push us to our limits. But our passion for caring for this land and its livestock keeps us striving for a better tomorrow. The greatest compliment that one can give us is to connect to the food in which we raise and tell others of its superior quality.

our farm has been a diversified family farm. We acquired the farm from Ben Wever whose family had farmed it since its establishment. Each farming generation put their unique style of managing the bounty of what nature provided in this beautiful Reber Valley.

We started with Ben as he showed and taught us about the farm, the work, the animals, the love of this vocation. He slowly transitioned out and we took over more and more until he simply did what he wanted and we took the reins.

Ben was the wisest, kindest, smartest, and strongest man we ever knew and we miss him every day. We’re still reminded by the pearls of his "Benism's" such as "one herd, one herdsman", or “take your watch off, cows don't care what time it is", or "we’re going to need the precision instruments now" (generally meaning a sledgehammer).

We produce beef, lamb, pork, poultry, eggs, and honey on our farm. We are grass-based nutrition. Everything we produce here was born here, and it all has the character, taste, and constituents of our farm in the Reber Valley and the Adirondack Park. We believe that truly local food carries the "terroir" (a French winemaking term) of the place and the stewards who raised it. In order to truly impart "terroir" the soil, which is the living skin of our plant, must be healthy and vibrant.

We always look to the soil as the basis of our management decisions. Therefore, our grasslands are vibrant and our livestock thrives.

Environmental Practices

Rotational Grazing

We move our animals across pastures to let grasses reset and grow strong roots. This process also protects wildlife habitat, distributes animal manure, and rebuilds soil health.

Silvopasture

Mixing trees with grazing pastures creates healthy shade for our animals and diverse plant life.

Invasive Plant Removal

With help from the Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS), we have removed invasive species like barberry from the farm.

Climate Resiliency

We have developed a composting system to recycle food scraps and manure, as well as climate-smart soil plans.
