Sustainable Beef is Better!

Poplar Hill Farm can tell you exactly what each animal ate during its entire life span as all of our cattle are fed off the crops we grow and produce on our farm.

Cattle need more than grass to sustain a healthy diet. Our cattle are raised on field corn and hay grown on the same farmland they roam. All our animals eat local too!!

Better for your Health

FEWER CALORIES - The Poplar Hill Farm beef fat content is significantly lower than conventional beef products. That means more meat and less guilt!

HEALTHY FATS - Poplar Hill Farm beef is a good source of omega-3 fatty acids.

SAFER BEEF OPTION - Poplar Hill Farm beef is hormone-free and antibiotic-free, resulting in a safer consumer product.

Better for the World

We use modern farming techniques including rotational grazing and limited soil tilling.

Much of our manure is composted before applying to our fields.

All of our products are sold locally, minimizing our carbon footprint.

Better for Our Animals

We grow and produce all of our animals’ feed. We never use commercial grain or by-products.

Our animals are raised all-natural. No growth hormones are ever used on our farm.

Our animals enjoy a free-range environment year-round with continuous access to shelter.

Three Generations
of Farming

Poplar Hill Farm also operates Bear Path Compost, which is recognized throughout the Pioneer Valley of Massachusetts as a dedicated producer of high quality, compost for residential, agricultural and commercial applications for 22 Years of Microbe Processing.

Moving forward we plan to compost all of our animals manure which would then be returned to the fields used to graze and grow crops completing the cycle from cow to compost.
