Larkhaven Farmstead Raw Milk Sheep/Goat Cheeses
Local customers of Larkhaven Farm:
If you care about the environment, the humane care of animals, and the purity of your food, Larkhaven Meat belongs in your larder. One of the benefits of country living, this opportunity is available only to members of our local community.
Every year, young animals must be culled from our flock of dairy sheep and herd of dairy goats. Our customers have told us our lamb is the most flavorful they have had. Of course, being completely milk- and grass-fed makes a big difference, and we think it has something to do with the smaller, Freisian dairy breed. To avoid missing our limited supply of lamb and chevon, it's best to let us know early that you will be interested.
Now taking orders for fall pork!
Our pigs are raised on pure grains, whey from our own and local farmstead cheese operations, pasture, sunshine and love.
No chemical wormers, genetically modified foods, prophylactic antibiotics, steroids,
growth hormones or mystery pellets are ever given. The hogs at Larkhaven Farm never receive by-products
of other animals other than pure dairy foods; no commercial animal fat, chicken house bedding, blood or bone
meal comes near these piggies. Housed in small mobile pens on a lush pasture, they are moved every day, so
they have a fresh supply of greens and grubs and a clean place to sleep.
Each pig is cared for with attention to its comfort, health and heartiness, because we are a small farm with
a pledge to do it right.

Just contact us and tell us you are interested. We will send you a questionnaire about your cut-and-wrap preferences and notice of the date the animals will be ready. You return the form to the farm, along with your deposit of $40 per half-hog, and the half or whole hog will be reserved for you. In September, when the meat is ready, we'll call you to let you know how much the remainder of your bill at Larkhaven is and when you can pick up your meat. When you pick up your order at Valley Meat Packing, you will pay the butcher's fees. All of the butcher's charges will be based on hanging weight, which is the weight of the meat before it is cut up for packaging.
