About Us
You can depend on us to be a healthy, nutrient-rich food source for you and your family.
St. Croix Farm is a family farm in Valley Falls, New York, selling pastured beef and chicken. We believe that pasturing our animals is better for them, better for the land, and better for our customers. Our animals are grass-fed and grass-finished, and our freezer is stocked year-round. Our family lives on the farm, so it’s more than a business to us.
We partner with our neighbor RuBen Hill Farm in Schaghticoke to provide pork and lamb products year-round, as well as holiday turkeys.
Growing Community
The sales we make are so much more than just business transactions. It is important to us to nurture relationships and get to know the people who buy our products. We can grow all the meat in the world, but it would mean nothing without our farm family—the loyal customers who support us. They trust us to provide them with healthy, safe food and we are honored to be welcomed to so many people’s dinner tables.
Family Owned and Operated
Our family is the third generation of Moores to live and work on St. Croix Farm. The farm was purchased in 1932 by Ira and Louise Moore and operated as a dairy farm. Then their son Kenneth and his wife Beverly forged a new path with pasture-raised cattle. Their son John expanded the business to include pork, chickens, and pheasants.
Our Farming Philosophy
Pasturing animals harvests the sun’s energy, and provides animals with their most natural and beneficial diet, which results in healthier meat. An intense rotational grazing program also improves the soil by increasing carbon sequestration and decreasing erosion. Silvopasturing allows us to stack our operations to grow food, fiber, and animals in the same area.
Stewardship
St. Croix Farm was conserved in 2009. We continue to learn more about grass-fed meats, and we consider our stewardship of the land to be a continuous cycle of improvement.
RuBen Hill Farm is a 4th generation conserved farm and St. Croix Farm is a 3rd generation conserved farm, both committed to keeping their land as farmland
Know Your Farmer, Know Your Food
Today our products are available through individual sales, our CSA memberships, and we supply some local restaurants, such as Hamlet & Ghost and Donna’s Italian.
If you have a question or would like to stop by for a visit, please get in touch! We are happy to help, or to share what we know.
We love talking about what we do, and it’s a great way to get to “know your farmer, know your food.”
