Black Willow Pond Farm

About this farm

Black Willow Pond Farm is an all-natural, pasture-based diversified livestock-producing farm. We use alternative, environmentally friendly, and sustainable food production models that allow us to feed our own family, as well as those in the local community who allow us to grow their food right next to ours. We care about what goes into our food and how our animals are treated and raised. We believe that every animal should be raised in the most natural setting possible. We utilize "organic" (and beyond) methods but are not certified organic. The only "insecticides" on our pastures are our laying hens and broiler chickens. Our only fertilizer is from our natural compost and from the back end of the cow, sheep, lamb, chicken, turkey, rabbit, or pig that is standing on the pasture when nature calls. We are a seasonal farm offering eggs from hens that are "modified" free-range (they are protected from predators with a net fence and an eggmobile that moves around on pasture), pastured poultry broilers (White Cornish Cross and Heritage Red Cornish), pastured turkeys (Big Breasted White and Heritage Bourbon Reds), pastured rabbit (New Zealand and Californian), Katahdin lambs, and Heritage Hereford pigs. Our products are available directly on the farm, at the Sharon Springs Farmers Market, and at Mildred's Meadows. Our chicken is available on the menu at The American Hotel in Sharon Springs. We do not ship. We would rather you take the time to visit the farm or find a local farmer who follows sustainable production methods. We have started a meat CSA for customer convenience; if you would like more information on hosting a "stop," please contact us to make arrangements.
