Beechtree Farm

About Beechtree Farm

Inspired after hearing talks by Jo Robinson at the Pennsylvania Association for Sustainable Agriculture conference in 2003, we began to expand our cattle operation of 20 years and selling our grassfed beef directly to consumers from our 58 acre, preserved farm in Hopewell, NJ. We raise primarily Devon and Polled Hereford cattle on rotational pasture grazing plan. The Devon cattle are known for thriving exclusively on grass while our Polled Herefords allow us to crossbreed for first generation hybrid vigor. Our cattle live an unconfined, humane life on pasture and hay in the winter with access to shelter, minerals and salt. We also plan to sell breeding stock to other graziers. We are actively involved on a local and regional basis in farmland preservation and encouraging and promoting local, sustainable agriculture. Lucia is the chair of the Hopewell Township agricultural advisory committee which holds educational forums for local landowners, farmers and consumers, and she is vice president of the board of directors of the Northeast Organic Farming Association New Jersey chapter. We are constantly learning and adapting our farming style to lower our impact on the environment and our health. Our meat is sold frozen by the cut in our point of sale room at Beechtree Farm, although the meat is processed at a local USDA certified facility. We take advance orders for 1/8, 1/4 or 1/2 shares. We also sell our meat and eggs at various farmers markets, including the Rutgers Gardens Farmers Market on Fridays, the Pennington farmers market and West Windsor Community Farmers' Market on Saturdays, and Gravity Hill Farm market on Sundays.
