Snowdance Farm is a family run farm located in the Catskill mountains that specializes in livestock raised on pasture. Through a system of rotational grazing the farm produces pasture raised chickens, turkey, geese, pheasant and guinea fowl along with heritage breed pigs, cattle, goats and sheep.
The animals are raised outdoors where they graze on grass, bugs, etc in a clean environment and supplemented with whole grains and the necessary mineral supplements. No antibiotics, stimulants or medications of any kind are fed to any of our animals sold for consumption. All poultry is slaughtered under NY state regulations and all red meats are processed at a USDA facility.
Orders for Thanksgiving turkeys can be taken now for delivery of a fresh (not frozen) bird the Tuesday before thanksgiving, November 23rd. Birds are sold for $6.00/lb in advance and in 4lb increments starting with the 10-14 lbs range.
Deadline for ordering is November 12th. Please E-mail Mark mjaffeus@yahoo.com to place your order today! Orders for specific sizes are taken on first come, first served basis. Because Mark has done business with our CSA last year, payments will be accepted at the time of pick up by cash or check. He does not accept credit cards.

Raw Milk – Stone Wall Dairy Farm
$120 (1/2 gallon) for full season or $180 (gallon) for full season (Weekly Delivery)
Our raw milk comes from Stone Wall Dairy in Connecticut, a licensed raw milk distributor. The milk comes from Jersey cows, is non-homogenized and non-pasteurized, and is produced on a humane, non-toxic, pasture-based dairy farm that practices small-scale, traditional processing. The cows graze outdoors all day (except for milking time) and their pasture is rotated to allow the grass to grow back. Their diet is supplemented with conventional grain (transitioning to organic) but they don't need much of that except in the winter when there is no grass.

Eggs – Stone Wall Dairy Farm
$60 (1/2 dozen) for 17 weeks beginning on the first week of distribution (Weekly Delivery)
Our CSA eggs come from hens that aren't merely free-range – they're pastured chickens whose home is much better than just a dirt yard. Their hen house is moved to a new location every week to maintain a steady supply of fresh grass and bugs (a chicken's natural diet). They are also offered organic grain as a supplement. Their natural diet ensures not only healthy hens, but also the quality of their eggs. The color of yolks reflects the health of the hens and therefore, the nutrient content of the eggs. Our eggs have beautiful deep orange yolks. The darker the yolk… the more nutritious the eggs!
Sometimes we get eggs with pretty blue-green shells. There's a reason for this. Our CSA's demand for egg shares was greater than Stone Wall could supply, so they reached out to their neighbors at Mieli Farm, just across the state line in Border Valley, NY. Craig and Sophie Mieli raise their chickens exactly the same way Stone Wall does (their organic grain comes from the same bulk shipment) but Mieli also has some Araucana hens, a breed whose eggs are blue! The other birds - on both farms - are mostly Barred Rocks and Rhode Island Reds, which lay brown eggs.

Broiler Chickens - Stone Wall Dairy Farm
$95 for 4 Chickens (Monthly Delivery)
Pick up dates for the 2011 season: July 12, August 2, September 13, October 4
Each broiler weighs approximately 5 pounds and is delivered fresh, not frozen. They are pasture-raised chickens, eating bugs and grass outdoors just like Stone Wall's egg-layers, but their pasture is changed daily and they consume much more organic grain – about half a pound a day. Stone Wall raises Kosher Kings (they're not raised kosher, it's just their name) because this breed was judged more flavorful than others they've tried.

ADAMAH is a small educational farm nestled in the Litchfield Hills of northwestern Connecticut... just a few miles down the road from Chubby Bunny Farm. They believe in combining the values of local, organic, kosher, and traceable foods in the crafting of their delicious pasteurized goat cheeses and yogurts. They have a small herd of 12 milking goats, and each doe is given the individual attention she needs. From the time the baby goats are born until the cheese is ready for your enjoyment, each step is lovingly done by hand. In addition to munching on local flora, their goats receive a fine blend of organic grains and high quality alfalfa hay. This varied diet is ideal for the herd's health and happiness. They are currently transitioning to Certified Organic. Their pickles and cheeses are certified kosher by the Hartford Va'ad HaKashrus.
