Whats New?
7/8/08
We are having a tour of the farm sponsered by NOFA-NY.

July 22 (Tuesday):  Diverse Organic Livestock Production,  4-7pm, Kingbird Farm, 9398 W Creek Rd, Berkshire, NY (Tioga Co.)  Kingbird Farm is a small, horse-powered farm where Karma, Michael and Rosemary Glos raise a diverse array of certified organic, pasture-raised livestock including pigs, chickens, ducks, geese, turkeys, and eggs.  They also raise grassfed Highland/Angus cattle.  Their farming methods are based on a belief in diversified, small family farms with a respect for the land and the animals they raise on it.  They manage their land organically; increasing fertility with compost, controlled grazing, and natural minerals.  Join the Glos family at their farm to learn how they manage their diverse organic livestock system.  $5 NOFA members, $10 non-members.

 

DIRECTIONS:  From Ithaca, NY take NY 79E for about 15 miles, turning right onto W. Creek Road (CR-708). Continue about 1 mile to the farm.


Please note to all our loyal Turkey customers of the past 10 years.  We will not be raising turkeys this year.  A combination of high feed prices, an interest in exploring alternatives breeds, and focusing on other aspects of the farm have led us to make this decision.  We'll be posting other good sources for local organic turkey soon.

The Ithaca Farmers Market is in full swings (every Saturday from 9-3).  Meat and eggs are still available at the farm year round. 
 We need your input on the use of casings in our sausages. Read more

Our products are currently available by preorder, at our self serve store on the farm and t

We try to market everything we raise no farther than 30 miles from the farm.  Support your local farmer!   We are at the market every Saturday from April to December.  Meat and eggs are always available self serve on the farm. Our eggs are also available at GreenStar Cooperative Market in Ithaca, NY.
