Butternut Farms Organic Coop is a group of 23 certified organic dairy farms
who rotational graze their cows. "We formed our company in June, 1998, and
started making organic cheddar." They have expanded their line since that
time, and will soon add organic Pepper Jack and Mozzerella, as well as fluid
milk --- whole, 1% and skim.
"We believe that having our cows on pasture is the most logical,
natural way to feed them. They harvest their own feed, spread their own
fertilizer, and are happy and healthy! Our cows do receive minimal amounts
of grain to maintain body condition while they are producing milk."
The dairy products are available at Northeast Cooperatives,
Alberts Organics, Cheeseworks, and many small independent health food
stores. You can order direct by calling their central office number listed
below. Products can be sent UPS ground from September through April.

sustainable agricultural production of any kind. We are farming two small
farms using beef cows and ewes as our primary soil building partners."
The lambs are fed grass exclusively. "We use no antibiotics,
growth hormones, chemical wormers, pesticides, herbicides, or commercial
fertilizers." Their beef cattle are Angus/Maine-Anjou crosses. "Grass lean
beef is sold from 700-900 pound animals. Grass fat beef is from more mature
animals, retained usually to 24 months. "All butchering is done when the
animals are coming off grass, either during the spring or fall flushes."
The Brubakers also have free-range laying hens. "We raise our
hens from our own broodstock and select for foraging ability, activeness,
and hardiness, as well as quality egg production." Broilers and turkeys are
free range until 2-3 weeks before slaughter when they are confined to
moveable coops to "tenderize" them. The birds still receive fresh pasture
daily. Honey is available as well.
Lamb is available in limited quantity from September to December.
Beef is available in the fall. Free range eggs, chickens, and turkeys are
available by order. Honey is sold in quantities ranging from 1 pound jars
