Practices

Four Mile River Farm brings a unique dedication to quality with practices that emphasize sustainability and flavor. Their commitment begins with pasture-raised poultry that is lovingly called 'poultry in motion,' where chicks are transported fresh from hatching to the farm. Here, they are brooded until fully feathered and ready for processing. This intensive care results in poultry that's notably flavorful.

Their cattle graze freely in pastures, enjoying a grass-fed diet eventually supplemented with nutrient-rich New England milled grain. This finishing process enriches the beef's taste and tenderness, essential for superior aging. The pigs enjoy the comfort of open-air shelters and play, eat, and sleep in deep wood chip bedding. This not only enriches the pigs’ lifestyle but turns into rich compost that benefits the land.

Each animal at Four Mile River Farm is processed under the watchful eye of USDA inspection, harvested with great care to ensure the highest quality products.

Offerings

Four Mile River Farm provides an array of meat products, including beef, pork, and chicken available as individual cuts or bulk orders. Their signature product lineup includes sausages meticulously crafted with high-quality trim and the perfect fat balance. Each sausage is hand-pattied or hand-linked in natural casing, resulting in a versatile product excellent on its own or as an ingredient in various dishes.

Their beef shares are particularly popular, offered in portions as adaptable as an 1/8 to a whole animal. These shares are custom-packed with cuts that range from premium steaks to roasts, ensuring that buyers have diverse options for meals.
