Stone and Thistle Farm

[Guest guest]

Has anyone ever ordered meat from Stone and Thistle Farm

(http://www.stoneandthistlefarm.com) in the Catskill area of NY? They have

100% grass fed lamb, goat, beef and other various critters (some of which

are not 100% pastured). They told me that their animals graze for 10 months

of the year. The farmer said they grow some fields until the grass goes

'dormant' at about 12 " . They then let the ewes eat it (under the snow) in

winter. Would dormant 12 " grass be more nutritious than hay, hay silage or

grass silage?

The animals are drug-free and I liked how forthcoming the farmer was when I

asked him a bunch of questions. So, it looks like it might pan out to be a

good source of grass-fed meat. But I was also wondering if anyone's had

experience ordering from this farm before, and what you think of the meat

and the farm in general?
