Pym Farm raises 100% grass-fed, pastured Red Devon cattle: a heritage breed that thrives on a diet of grass and produces consistently delicious beef.
The farm is dedicated to producing delicious, top quality beef from contented, healthy animals, pasture-raised according to organic methods, without hormones, non-therapeutic antibiotics or steroids.
The heritage Red Devon cattle live on grass all year long. From spring through early winter rotational grazing is practiced, moving the animals frequently between pastures, resulting in higher quality, more nutritious, sweeter grass, and thus better beef. In winter, the cattle are fed hay.
Quality of life for the cattle is very important. Pym Farm provides a low stress environment with access to shade and shelter, fresh water, insect eradication, yearlong suckling for new calves, side by side weaning, bi-annual vet checks and hoof trimming.
It’s this environment and our animals’ freedom to follow their natural diet that gives our beef its exceptional taste and flavor. The farm is run on an organic method basis. Due to our farm’s isolated location, the land is not exposed to chemicals from neighboring farms.
Purchasing Pym Farm Red Devon Beef
At the Copake Hillsdale farmers’ market on Saturdays, 9am to 1pm, from late May through the end of October. You can also buy our ground beef (frozen) at the Hillsdale Supermarket (IGA), as well as the Berkshire Food Co-op and Bizalion’s Fine Food in Great Barrington.
Consider ordering a quarter share. It’s convenient, economical and gives you a great variety of cuts to choose from all year. All cuts come vacuum-packed and frozen. The amount of beef from a quarter Devon varies depending on the size of the animal, i.e. hanging weight.
