About Caledonia Farm
Caledonia Farm is a diversified
farm offering pasture raised beef, chicken and eggs to promote healthy eating and increase
food security and transparency through a localized economy. We collaborate with Burnshirt
Valley Farm and offer their naturally-raised pork to customers at our markets.
Our mission is to produce the cleanest, healthiest beef, chicken and eggs using our
farm’s natural resources to their fullest. To be transparent in what we do, to be
financially healthy and sell directly to our customers. To promote research and self
sufficiency, particularly in energy production and low-impact farming methods.
Our products:
-Premium dry-aged pasture raised beef
-True free-range broilers
-True free-range eggs
Research projects and community centered work:
-We work locally to increase food security for our disadvantaged.
-We seek to reduce our use of non-renewable fossil fuel use by using waste vegetable oil
as fuel for our diesel equipment and as feedstock for our farm-produced biodiesel.
-We are exploring the use of syn-gas from wood chips to power some of our equipment.
-We will expand our crop base into sunflowers to produce our own oil for use as a fuel and
feedstock for biodiesel.Contact:

Our farm is nestled in the upland hills of Worcester County with mineral rich soils and abundant rainfall, which can sustain a wonderfully productive mix of grasses and other grazable plants. Our maze of fences, fields and pastures looks different every week. All of our animals move frequently to new areas to allow the grass to recover and receive the sanitizing and renewing effects of the sun and rain.
