BOTL Farm

BOTL Farm is a sustainability-focused livestock farm raising pastured pork; cage-free rabbit; soy-free, corn-free, non-GMO chicken eggs; grain-free, grass-fed lamb and goat.

We believe in a full-circle sustainability approach to raising livestock, so we adhere to these farming philosophies:

Perform intensively managed rotational grazing year-round for as long as weather and grass production allow
When needed, use only corn-free, soy-free, non-GMO, and spray-free supplementary feed
Maintain breeding stock to control the health and genetics of our animals
Grow specific heritage breeds who can:
thrive in our Northeast climate of hot summers and cold winters
breed successfully to maintain and grow our herds
grow and flourish on a grass-based diet.
Our pigs are Mangalitsa/Berkshire/Large Black crosses who live year-round on pasture and naturally farrow in the woods. They are supplemented with a soy-free, corn-free, non-GMO feed. Wholes are available seasonally, while cuts, half-hog boxes, and quarter-hog boxes are available year round.

Rabbits are cage- (and 'tractor-') free and rotationally grazed on pasture. They are harvested seasonally and we generally have a waitlist for future orders.

Our laying flock of chickens is a mix of Rhode Island Red, Barred Rock, New Hampshires and Easter Eggers. Like our pigs, they are supplemented a soy-free, corn-free, non-GMO feed and are rotationally grazed behind our sheep, goats, and pigs. Eggs are available from on-farm honor box or through our 20-week CSA.

Our sheep are Icelandic with a little bit of Shetland mixed in, while our goats are New Zealand Kikos. They are rotationally grazed on grass and available as wholes and cuts each fall.

We sell directly to customers at our farm (by appointment), at our roadside honor box, or at Tolland, CT Farmers Market and Sturbridge, MA Farmers Market. See market websites for dates we will be there.
