For Peate's Sake Homestead
We originally hoped to start and run a small sustainable farm on our family's 13.6 acres located on Cumberland Head in Plattsburgh, NY but because those who lived around the property were misinformed and thought we were starting a pig farm the local government made it very difficult for us to get our project off the ground. We were forced to abandon our plans and take them else where. We have recently purchased a small homestead in South Dayton, NY. It's not at big as we would have liked, but we can make due and may have the chance to expand in the future.
We hope to provide our community with humanely raised pork and poultry products, and naturally grown vegetables. We don't use pesticides or chemical fertilizers on our crops, and we don't give our animals hormones or unneeded medication. We are not certified organic, but we try to raise our animals and grow our vegetables as naturally as possible while still keeping costs down. We strive to raise our animals as naturally as possible, allowing them access to fresh air and green grass when the weather allows for it.
In the next five years we would like to start a Community Supported Agriculture program on our farm. We hope to work with our community to produce healthier and more environmentally friendly food options.
