Our farm is located on Rose Hill Road in Skaneateles, where we own 250 acres in which we grow corn and hay for our 65 cows. We have 80 acres of green pasture that the cows and their calves go to every spring and stay there until the snow comes in the fall. We never use growth hormones, the steers grow just fine without them. We do vaccinate the cows and calves once a year in the fall and worm them. The steers stay on the same diet once weaned from their mothers in the fall which is corn silage and hay. This gives the meat an excellent flavor. We have perfected this since 1999 when we started our herd with 10 cows.

We sell meat cuts right from the farm so we have not set hours. Just call our number and we set up a time. It does not take long. Also, we sell whole steers if that is what you are interested in.

Farmers markets we serve to:
Skaneateles farmers market on Thursdays May through Sept 3:30-6:30 and Saturdays June through Sept 10:00-1:00.
Marcellus farmers market: Fridays May through Sept 3:00-6:00.

Restaurants we sell our ground beef to: Joe’s Pasta Garage, Valley Inn, and 1820′s House.

Fun Fact about Syracuse & Onondaga County …. did you know …..

… that the Great New York State Fair started in Syracuse. New York’s very first fair (September 29-30, 1841) was located in a square bounded today by North Salina, Division, Townsend & Ash Streets with the old Onondaga County Court House serving as an exhibit hall. It was deemed a tremendous success & attracted between 10,000 & 15,000 spectators many traveling by railroad. The NYS Legislature budgeted $8,000 for the “promotion of agriculture & household manufactures in the state” through the annual fair.
