About the Farm

Steve and Renee Clearman; Lee and Georgia Ranney

Kinderhook Farm started with a former dairy property in Columbia County that Steve and Renee Clearman bought in 2004. They invited longtime friends Lee and Georgia Ranney, who'd spent 15 years raising cattle in West Virginia, to help bring the land back into production as a pasture-based farm. The four have run it together since, on land that's been farmed for centuries.

The rundown

Kinderhook raises 100% grass-fed and grass-finished beef and lamb using managed rotational grazing. Cattle and sheep graze pasture during the growing season and eat hay and forage grown and harvested on the farm through the winter. Pigs, meat chickens and laying hens are also raised on pasture.

Meat is processed at a USDA-inspected facility, then labeled, vacuum-sealed and flash-frozen. You can buy individual cuts through the farm store, or larger formats: pork boxes, half or whole lamb, quarter cow, and custom half or whole beef.

The farm is open to visitors, and its apprenticeship program has trained people who've gone on to start pasture-based operations of their own.
