Kinderhook Farm

Kinderhook Farm lies in the Hudson Valley of New York. The farm's several hundred acres of rolling hay meadows and pastures allow us to raise our beef cattle and sheep on a 100% grass and legume diet that includes no grain, antibiotics, growth hormone, or animal by-products.

Grass-fed meat is lower in both overall fat and calories, and has the advantage of providing more omega-3 fats. For more information on grass-fed beef and omega-3, visit www.eatwild.com.

Our grass fed pasture system is better for the animal and our environment, resulting in nutritionally superior beef. The most important thing that we do is allow our animals to live naturally on the pastures of our farm, and graze the forages growing in our fields.  During the summer months we harvest the excess pasture and feed it as hay during the winter. All of the animal wastes are returned to the land and become nutrients for the next grass cycle. 

We have recently added a flock of sheep to the farm that are being raised on a 100% grass and legume diet.  The sheep help to diversify the ecosystem of the pastures as well as being a pleasure to look at as they graze in the pastures around the farm.

Please contact us for more information.

We also offer accommodations for visitors to the farm at our newly opened FarmStay. If you are intersted in finding out more about spending a few days on the farm during the summer months and being part of the action here, you can get more information at our FarmStay web site.
