Customer Reviews
"As I was taking inventory this morning, a customer took 3 containers and was raving at how good your Greek yogurt is. He even did a taste comparison with store brands to be sure! Nothing like real food." ~Ian, Farm Manager, Pitney Meadows Community Farm 10/29/23

Love coming to this awesome local store for all kinds of goodies. We came for the raw milk but found so much more. ~Mary

I LOVE this place. They have the best raw milk. They make such good yogurt too. And the people working there are just fantastic. A surprising amount of variety in what they sell as well as they carry goods being dairy from other local producers. Hand crafted soaps, organic honey, coffee, maple syrup and more. Big fan. I make sure to stop by when I'm in town. If you are looking for the best raw milk in the area, look no further. ~Tony, recent Google Review​

What We Do, We Do For YOU
At Willow-Marsh Farm, we believe that healthy, wholesome food supports a strong immune system and provides the building blocks for strong bones, muscle development, and healing. That’s why we focus on raising our animals with care and intention.
​
Our dairy cows are fed non-GMO crops grown right here on the farm, and we manage weeds through cultivation rather than spraying harmful chemicals. Our cattle are not vaccinated, and we prioritize natural herd health practices. The beef cattle graze freely across three rotating pastures, supporting both their well-being and the regeneration of our land. We use certified organic grain only when needed—nutritionally supporting our dairy cows during milk production and helping our beef cattle thrive through the long, cold winters of upstate New York. Our veal calves are raised humanely in a large, open, covered outdoor shed with plenty of space, fresh air, and natural light.
​
What We Don’t Do:
We do not use growth hormones, antibiotics, or grain-finishing. We don’t feed our animals natural alternatives like live yeast, direct-fed probiotics, enzymes, or essential-oil blends. Our approach is rooted in simplicity, integrity, and trust in the natural health of the animal when raised in a low-stress, pasture-based environment. We’re committed to sustainable, transparent practices that prioritize animal welfare, soil health, and nutrient-dense food for our community.
We hope you visit soon!
