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
The Rules
During 2015 we are going to eat “exclusively” from our farm. We talked a number of times about how strict to be, and have settled on the following exemptions. Salt and pepper are allowed. Vitamins and seaweed are allowed. Barter is allowed, particularly if the item we’re trading for is produced by the other barterer....
Food for a Year (pt. 2)
Why would I decide to eat only food grown on my farm for an entire year? That's a good question! I do like rutabagas more than most people I've met. Also, I have a farm, which makes the whole thing a lot easier. Also, I like eating game, meaning I won't be put out if...
Food for a Year
Welcome to our year-long project. Over the coming year my brother and I are going to take the local food movement to its logical and absurd endpoint, and we’re going to blog about it. We’re going to grow all our own food for an entire year*. We’re kicking it off today with the onset of 2015. Several...
