Our Pigs
Brush Brook Farm's pigs enjoy the freedom of the outdoors in the spring, summer and fall months where they can freely root and roam. During Delaware County New York's cold winter months our cross-bred pigs are sheltered indoors. They are fed a non-medicated grain mash, whey from a local cheese maker and vegetable scraps from the family kitchen and garden.
Our Beef
Brush Brook Farm's grass-fed beef cattle consume only certified organic grasses. They freely graze on certified organic pasture on the family farm. When the grazing season ends and the weather turns cold, they are fed dry hay harvested from the farm and other organic grass products. We do not feed any grain, use hormones or unnecessary medication.
Our Hay
Brush Brook Farm harvests approximately 300 acres of certified organic hay. The hay is dry baled into large square bales weighing approximately 800 pounds each. Several area dairy farmers rely on Brush Brook Farm for their herds' yearly hay needs. We use a portion of each season's harvest to feed our own beef cattle.
