2011 Pastured Poultry CSA - Our birds are free ranged in our pastures supplementing their diet of locally grown NOFA NY certified organic grains with all the goodies they find in the grass. The target weight for CSA birds is ~4.5 lbs. Distributions will take place on our farm and in Beacon NY. The distribution dates are: June 25th, July 23rd, August 6th, September 17th.

Escot Valley Farm is a small family-run farm dedicated to applying organic principles to the production of fine meats and cheeses. We sell off the farm and also at Hudson Valley Real Food drop offs in Beacon, NY.

At Escot Valley Farm we believe in keeping things simple. We follow organic and humane principles in how we raise our animals and harvest from them. We operate on a completely free range/grass based rotational system. This allows each species to contribute to the improvement of our pasture and its underlying soil health. When grains are needed (e.g. chickens & hogs) only locally grown certified organic grains are used.

It is very important to us that we continually re-invest in our soils and not run a mining operation that leaves either our earth or our community depleted.
