Locally Raised Meats

Hudson Valley Locally Raised Meat Farms

November 30, -0001

The winter holidays take us back to home and hearth, whether we’re vegetarians creating sumptuous baked casseroles and roasting vegetables, or carnivores who build our holiday menus around meat cooking long and lusciously in the oven. For meat lovers, the region abounds with natural, locally raised meats that make tastier, healthier celebrations. Order early, as the popularity of locally raised turkey, chicken, beef, pork, venison, and more is growing.
