Our Products
Beef
Holly Brook Farm raises grass fed/grass finished beef (mostly Angus, Angus cross calves). Our beeves have a moderate to greater amount of marbling. This is desirable for palate appeal, yet difficult to achieve on grass unless the farmer utilizes the grass and legume varieties as our farm does. We sell a variety of steaks, roasts, and ground beef.
Chicken
Holly Brook Farm utilizes one day old hatchery chicks. We brood the chicks for three weeks in a heated environment as they eat a supplemental feed and drink local well water. At the end of the brooding period, the chicks are feathered enough to be transferred to chicken tractors. This unique method of raising chickens involves moving small numbers of chickens within an enclosed "yard" around a clover/fescue field so they have access to fresh grass and insects every day. They also receive supplemental grain and well water. We offer whole chickens and cut up parts.
Guinea Fowl
Holly Brook Farm produces Guinea Fowl similar to chickens: the Guinea chicks arrive from a commercial hatchery one day old. They then brood in a heated environment, eating grain and drinking local well water. After the brooding period, when they have adequately feathered, they are placed in outdoor chicken tractors. At this point, the Guinea Fowl move with the tractors around a grassy field where they eat insects, grass, and grain as well as well water. They are a unique product because they are usually not thought of as food, rather as a guard animal. They taste similar to pheasant, not gamey, but flavorful. We offer whole birds only.
Pork
Holly Brook Farm raises heritage hogs (hardy breeds). The crossbred hogs we use produce meat that has a moderate amount of fat covering with marbling. They are pastured and fed a supplemental grain. We offer chops, roasts, bacon, and a large variety of sausages.
Lamb
Holly Brook Farm produces lambs that are raised on mother's milk and grass, with minimal grain. They thrive on pasture with a variety of grasses. Our lamb meat has a mild taste, unlike commercial lamb from some grocery chains because 1) it is raised in the U.S.A. on our farm, 2) it is not mutton, and 3) it is from hair sheep (not a wool sheep). Cuts we offer include roasts, chops, and ground meat.
Veal
Holly Brook Farm produces veal calves that are raised on mother's milk and grass, with minimal grain. They thrive on pasture with a variety of grasses. Our veal is unique because the young calf is raised on its mother, not on slats in a dark enclosure. The calf has access to a variety of grasses. Because our veal calves are raised on milk and grass, their meat is mild and tender. Veal cuts we offer include, roasts, cutlets, ground meat.
Rabbit
Holly Brook Farm rabbitry produces rabbits raised naturally with mothers in nesting containers. They are not released to outside pasture in order to prevent parasite morbidity. Rabbits are fed hay and alfalfa pellets with minerals. Rabbits are offered whole or cut up.
Livestock
Holly Brook Farm offers breeding stock for rabbits (Florida Whites, Champagne D'Argents, and New Zealand Whites), purebred Dorper sheep. Contact us for more information and availability.
