FARM STORE PRODUCTS

The farm store is located at 115 Chase Road, Pine Plains, NY 12567. The farm store is open 7 days a week and staffed on Saturdays so if you are new to us you should try to come then.  Email or text if you have a specific question or need some help.  (518) 339-2071 or chaseholmfarm@gmail.com. The Farm Store is located right next to the dairy barn. It’s in the same parking lot so when the cows are in you can say hello or as we like to say, meet your milk. 

The creamery is located just down the road at 100 Chase Road.

100% Grass-Fed raw Milk

We have a license to sell Raw Milk from our farm.  Our milk is bottled in glass, fresh from our grass based herd of Jerseys and Holsteins.  Our milk is high in butterfat so it has a very full and sweet taste.  It is also a nutrient-dense food; cows grazing grass make milk with a more balanced fatty acid profile and higher levels of Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA). 

Our milk is available in half gallon and quart sizes.  You'll find it in the farm store on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.

100% Grass-Fed pasteurized Milk

In 2019 we started pasteurizing our own milk so that we could sell it off the farm. Now we’re in several shops, markets and restaurants with our 100% Grass-Fed and Certified Organic Milk.

100% Grass-Fed Yogurt

Chaseholm started making yogurt in 2017 with the help of Hawthorne Valley Farm.  We bring our milk there to have it processed into our own unique yogurt recipe.   Our yogurt is made with whole milk and you'll see a distinctive layer of cream that rises to the top of each container.  Depending on the time of year and how much growing grass the cows are eating the cream might be a golden yellow, showing you it's nutritional benefits right on top.   Try our yogurt for breakfast or maybe desert or stirred into soups, dollopped onto curries or stews. 

100% Grass-Fed Beef

In our management-intensive production system we are constantly making decisions for the health of our cows and of our farmscape's ecosystem.  A byproduct of those choices is meat with the wonderful flavor and the highest nutritional profile possible. We raise a few animals each year for beef alone but most of our available beef is from our dairy herd.  Utilizing every bit of these special creatures feels like the deepest way to honor their life.

Our cows are dual purpose animals.  They share so much amazing milk with us, and consequently they store less fat in their bodies than animals raised solely for beef.  But the fat that they do store is magical.  The fat of grass-fed animals has a more balanced omega 6 to omega 3 ratio and higher levels of Conjugated Linoleic Acids (CLAs).  People are starting to realize that those are important for keeping our human organisms humming along at optimal health. 

Because our cows are leaner, our butcher grinds all of the muscle groups to create our ground beef.  That means all those parts that usually become steaks and roasts are in the grind.  This leads to a distinctly special ground beef.  Our dairy cows live longer than most animals sold for beef in this country, resulting in a more flavorful beef.  

whey fed pork

Our happy pigs get all the whey they can drink and cheese scraps from Chaseholm Creamery.  Feeding whey to pigs imparts a slightly sweet and delicate flavor to the meat.  Plus the pigs love it. Our pig feed comes from Stonehouse Grain, one of our neighbors in the Hudson Valley that is also working to understand the intricacies of drawing carbon from the atmosphere back into the soil. 

The other trick to a happy pig is introducing novelty into their lives on a regular basis. As a gift to the pigs we rotate them onto fresh paddocks on the margins of our fields and forests on a regular basis.  We're still trying to find the right balance whereby the pigs get to root and eat greens and grubs, but we don't take too much pasture from our diary herd.  But we keep trying because pork from happy pigs is just better. 

we also offer ice cream, Sauerkraut, butter, coffee, honey, and bread at the farm store.
