Farm description

Blue Rooster Farm is a family owned and operated beef and sheep farm located in the Ridge and Valley region of South Central Pennsylvania.  Our sheep and beef rotationally graze on pasture spring, summer and fall.  During the winter they are fed hay purchased from neighboring farms. We do not fatten on grains, use of synthetic growth hormones, or antibiotics on healthy stock.  In order to grow our beef quickly on grass and hay, we select for small-framed Black Angus cows and bulls. Our sheep are predominately North Country Cheviot - a hardy, flighty, stocky breed who give our Border Collie, Mac, a run for the money.  Along with pasture-raised lamb and beef, we've experimented with raising free-range pigs.  We are still learning how best to incorporate these intelligent, rooting, omivores into our pasture without creating too much disturbance and chaos on the farm.  For now we are offering a limited amount of pork products.

We have been farming according to organic standards since 1998 , however we are not USDA certified organic.
