Longmeadow Farm produces grass fed beef in the Mohawk Valley Region of New York State. Over the years we have cultivated a private/direct market consisting of long term repeat customers. We generally deliver sides of beef in the fall of each year, which are aged 18-21 days and custom cut to customer requirements and specifications.
Cattle are grass fed and finished without the use of grain. The beef cattle are born and raised on the farm, rotationally grazed on 100+ acres of improved grass pasture during the growing season and fed stored grass based forages during the winter. We raise Hereford cattle without the use of antibiotics, growth hormones and chemical based dewormers. Cattle are free to roam over 10 acres of permanent pasture and woods during the winter months and are never confined to pens, except during the weaning process.
The farming operation, consisting of 250 acres,and has been farmed organically (but not certified) since 1982. The farming operation does not use chemical/petro-based fertilizers, pesticides/herbicides or GMO based seed. Our farming philosophy includes: protecting the environment, humane treatment of animals, sustainable agriculture, and providing a superior local product and a rewarding eating experience year after year for our customers.
You may call or e-mail us to schedule a farm farm tour or just to stop by for a chat.
