At Green Ledge Farm (in beautiful
Francestown, NH) we are committed to providing 100% grass FED / 100% grass
FINISHED beef. We are Certified Organic by the
New Hampshire Dept. of Agriculture for both our Livestock and our Hay and
Pasture Fields. Our cows eat only certified organic grass and certified organic
grass hay during their entire lifetime.
Grass fed and finished cows are
happier and healthier than animals fed grain in crowded feedlots. They have
much higher levels of beneficial Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA) and omega-3
fatty acids thought to fight cancer, enhance the immune system, and prevent both
diabetes and heart disease. To learn more about the health benefits of grass
fed beef, visit
Eatwild.com.
Grass fed beef is leaner than
feedlot beef and some cuts benefit from cooking with moist heat or marinades.
See our
Recipes page for some of our favorite meal ideas.
We also sell
at the Peterborough Farmer's Market on Wednesdays from 3-6 pm during the summer.
This year the market begins on May 19, 2010.
In the fall,
we offer a small supply of whole organic broiler chickens
for $6/lb (5-7 pounds each) and organic eggs at $4/doz while supplies last. We
encourage farm visitors and if you plan to visit the farm, please call
603-547-3454 for an appointment and to check our inventory levels to see if the
cuts you want are in stock.
We maintain an email list for customers who would like to be kept informed about
meat availability and other developments at Green Ledge Farm. If you’d
like to be on our email list, please email Larry.
We’ve added a
photo gallery to show you some of the sights we enjoy here at the farm.
