Little Seed Gardens Farm - Certified Organic CSA

Little Seed Gardens Farm, located in the picturesque town of Chatham, NY, is a 100-acre family farm established in 1995. Situated at the confluence of the Stonykill and Kinderhook creeks, this charming farm is stewarded by farmers Willy Denner and Claudia Kenny. Their tender care extends to various produce, including vegetables, flowers, herbs, cover crops, livestock, and pastures.

At Little Seed Gardens, the focus is on celebrating the nurturing power of people through the cultivation and sharing of food in ways that strengthen the living communities we are part of. With a commitment to fostering collaborative relationships, building complex and resilient ecologies, and producing food that promotes well-being, the ethos of Little Seed Gardens is deeply rooted in sustainable and holistic farming practices.

Little Seed Gardens Farm is proudly CERTIFIED ORGANIC by NOFA-NY and the REAL Organic Project, showcasing their dedication to organic farming methods. The farm is a shining example of environmentally conscious agriculture, embracing regenerative practices such as no or low till, covering crop-based fertility, crop rotations, rotational grazing, composting, and companion planting.

BEEF SHARES

The Randall heritage genetics result in tender and well-marbled beef, thanks to the all-grass diet the cattle are meant to thrive on. The farm offers 20-pound boxes of meat, approximately one-sixteenth of a steer. These boxes contain a variety of cuts, including high and medium-priced cuts, ground beef, and stew meat. You can call the farm for help choosing a box that suits your preferences, or they can show you some options in person.

Little Seed Garden Farm has raised Randalls for twenty years to preserve the breed for future generations. These cattle are hardy, healthy, and naturally intelligent, thriving on an all-grass diet. The cattle keep their horns and tails at our farm and live outside year-round. The cows are excellent mothers; mothers and their babies stay together, and the calves are naturally weaned at about nine months. By purchasing meat from Little Seed, you are helping us keep this wonderful breed thriving in the future. Currently, there are fewer than 500 Randalls in the world.
