Our New York Farm Delivers to Your Home
100% Grass Finished, Grass Fed Beef and Lamb ~ Pastured Organic Chicken and Pastured Pork
Welcome to the farm!
My name is Garth (I'm the tall one without a beard). I started Cairncrest Farm with my wife Alanna, my brother Ed, and my sister-in-law Normandy. Along the way we've added four kids, three cats, and one dog. We are enthusiastically committed to creating and sharing real, nourishing food. Whether it's 100% grass finished, grass fed beef, certified organic chicken, or gifts from local artisans, everything we sell is a representation of our belief in the beauty and joy that can be found in a healthy farm ecosystem.
There's lots to say about all this. You can keep scrolling for more about the farm, or look in the menu for info about a particular topic. If you have a question you don't see the answer to you can call me at (267) 625-0542, or email Alanna at info@cairncrestfarm.com.

What We've Been Thinking About
A Reader Question
In my last post I asked for topics you would like to see addressed, and I’ll try to answer all of them (and any others you think of) in the coming month. Here’s one to start with. Question: What are some simple ways to save money and help the environment? The first thing that comes...
The Ethics of Eating Meat
Slaughtering sucks. I don't like killing animals, but I guess I like eating meat more than I dislike killing. Over the years I've grappled with whether I should eat meat at all, and for a while I was a vegetarian. These days I accept that my actions have ripple effects far and wide no matter...

There are few thrills in this world that compare to cracking the lid of a slow cooker and smelling the savory aroma of beef shanks wafting out into the kitchen. Some people go in for skydiving or heli-skiing, but when I want to get my pulse racing I break out some knuckle bones and start...
