Stone & Thistle Farm, nestled in a serene valley at the base of the Catskill Mountains in central New York state, is renowned for its commitment to raising various livestock and poultry sustainably and naturally. The family-owned farm takes pride in raising grass-fed lamb, goat, pork, beef, poultry, rabbits, eggs, and goat milk products.
At Stone & Thistle Farm, the livestock and poultry roam and graze on pastures for most of the year, ensuring they lead healthy and natural lives. The dairy goats, pigs, and poultry are supplemented with minimal amounts of local grains, while the beef cows, lambs, and meat goats are exclusively fed grass or hay, complemented by the nourishing touch of sunshine. The farm strictly prohibits the use of additives, hormones, antibiotics, or drugs in livestock and poultry, resulting in naturally healthy, farm-fresh meat and eggs. They are committed to these sustainable practices, inspiring you to support ethical farming.
With a dedication to sustainable practices, Stone & Thistle Farm’s grass-fed meat is known for its lower total fat and calorie content, as well as its rich composition of “good fats,” such as omega-3 fatty acids and cancer-fighting fats. The farm’s ethos revolves around nurturing its animals with an abundance of care and love, and they believe that this care translates into the exceptional taste and quality of its products.
Stone & Thistle Farm products qre available at these farmers’ markets.
