Pasture to Plate!

Pastured broilers enjoying some afternoon grass and bugs

Pastured Chickens

We offer our own Thomaston grown TRULY pastured poultry sold directly on the farm, and through select retail partners. We raise Cornish Rock Cross broiler chickens in mobile hoop structures. The birds are out on pasture by 3-4 weeks of age, and they are given fresh grass daily to ensure that they have access to the tasty bugs, and greenery that they so enjoy. The bottomless hoop structures are well vented and provide the birds with safety from predators as well as shade from the sun and rain. When they aren't munching on pasture, the flock is provided with specially mixed feed that comes to us from a Maine family-owned farm and includes a blend of certified organic grains, as well as Maine grown non-GMO soy and Maine grown barley.

 Please see the available now page for pricing and availability.

Turkeys

Our diverse flocks of turkeys can be found out on pasture from July through Thanksgiving harvest time. They are offered fresh and frozen in a size range of roughly 12-27 pounds. They spend long, sunny days foraging in the field and singing loudly. Our pastured turkeys are a tasty hit for the holiday season and we encourage placing orders early! In fact, you can call to get on this list starting each year on September 1st.

The turkeys are provided with specially mixed feed that comes to us from a Maine family-owned farm and includes a blend of certified organic grains, as well as Maine grown non-GMO soy and Maine grown barley.

We offer the turkeys for sale directly from the farm, and through friends at select retail locations. Please see our "Partner" page for a complete list of retailers. 

 

Grazing cattle

Beef

We offer pastured beef annually. These are the sons of our dairy queens, and as such they are a mix of Jersey, Normande, and sometimes Red Angus. Raised on their mother’s milk and then out on pasture with the ladies, they are provided with the fresh air, quality forage and comfortable lifestyle that ensures a tasty meal for you. We offer beef by the cut. It comes packaged in dinner sized portions, and is frozen for you at the processor.

Dairy herd grazing on summer fields

Dairy

Grace Pond Farm's organically certified dairy herd spends long, happy, grass-fed days chewing the cud. Our dairy queens are a pleasant mix of Jersey and Normande crosses with just enough Washington County grit thrown in to handle any situation with grace.

Enjoy their offerings as part of your favorite yogurt, ice cream, fun fermented drinks, and cheese from our Maine food partners, and pick up half gallons of raw milk here at the Barn Store on farm.

Forest pigs - reclaiming old pastures

Pork

Grace Pond Farm raised pork is not only delicious, it’s a climate friendly choice. Our piglets come to us at about 8 weeks old from Maine farms. They are introduced to their forest and pasture homes here at Grace Pond Farm and fed a special soy free diet that includes our own organically certified milk and whey, organically certified dry hay, and organic and non-GMO grains grown right here in Maine. They are helping us maintain our no-till, regenerative farming practices and reclaiming old pasture space for us - slowly, and without the large carbon release that accompanies traditional mechanical tilling - and they fertilize it as they go!
