Abundance Acres Farm

Abundance Acres Farm Abundance Acres Farm raises food you can feel good about eating. We want to be your farm! For a few years before farming, we bred meat rabbits in Pam's garage.

On a former Amish dairy farm (which had no electric service until 2014, no indoor toilet until 2016!) between the Mohawk River and the foothills of the Adirondacks, we (Pam & Chris) started carving a different niche in a region of monoculture crops and dairy farms. We seek a zone between the Amish (slow, old-fashioned, or simple) and what the Amish call "English" (fast, modern, or overly complicat

ed) and often have felt like oddities here. Pam had been growing vegetables since 1998, but the farm idea started with rabbits. We arrived in Stone Arabia with the back seat of a pickup truck full of seedlings and a used horse trailer with 30+ rabbits. Soon after came a few dozen layer hens, eight turkey poults, and 50 meat chicks. Then 15 hogs of various ages joined the menagerie. And everything has evolved from there. Veal calves, beeves, ducks, goats, and sheep increase species diversity and convert acres of former cropland and meadow to grazing pastures and hay meadows. We have refined enterprises each year in response to our experience, and our current focus is on pasture-raising livestock seasonally (this is the REAL upstate New York, after all) for meat and eggs, feeding hungry consumers at several NYC Greenmarket locations. We do not operate a farm store but do sell product from the farm by appointment. Please check out our website, then call or email to inquire about product availability (it changes too often to keep current inventory!) and make an appointment. Thanks for reading!

🐂 Congratulation to Ms. Zoey; she made a two-fer! 🐂🐂
Right on time, with no assistance. Huzzah!

I saw the sweet HerefordX calf with two eye patches first, in the pen with Mama, and thought, hmm, it looks a little small. I was right! Because #2 (with one eye patch) somehow had gotten out of the pen and was roaming the barn!

Have no fear; the family is back together again.

Today the turkeys enjoyed fresh air and heat lamps off for the first time! I closed up at 5 pm and will monitor interior temperature to determine whether the heat lamps should go back on tonight, as outdoor temps drop from 80s to 60s.

They are not quite big enough to live outside, but it doesn't hurt to get them ready! Look for Thanksgiving 🦃 reservations to start sometime after Labor Day.

🤔 Guess what happened this week? 🤔
(Hint: Our hands are luxuriously soft!)
🐑🐑🐑🐑
Lambs were sorted, ram lambs were weaned, ewe lambs were tagged (better late than never!), and ewes got haircuts and mani-pedis! Big thanks to Andy, Enos, and James for help lifting, catching (even midair!), and generally managing animals for Karen, the shearer.

Our ears are still recovering! 🤣

Can you believe that we originally sold chickens only WHOLE, frozen? Then we started using a processor that cut halves and quarters (also frozen). And finally, a conversation with a customer at our first downstate market convinced me that the marketplace *needed* Boneless Chicken Breast. And so ...

Since 2018, we try to stand out in the marketplace by bringing FRESH NEVER FROZEN Pasture-Raised Chicken, Wholes and cuts (from Skin-on Boneless Breast and Chicken Tenders to Livers, Feet, and Soup Bones), to market every week during grass season. It means packing chickens into crates at dawn every Thursday, picking up chicken Friday afternoon, and packing cuts into many coolers with about 300 lb of ice to get the freshest, most delicious chicken to you at our weekend markets.

It's a lot -- without even taking into account getting new day-old chicks every 4 weeks and moving birds from brooder to pasture every 4 weeks -- but you are unlikely to taste a fresher chicken unless you butcher it yourself. 🐔

👉 So tell me ... what's YOUR go-to chicken cut? 👈
