Just a Few Acres Farm

@justafewacresfarm

Our videos focus on small farm life, and are targeted toward people interested in understanding more about small farming, sustainable farming methods, or who wish to vicariously live the farm life! Just a Few Acres is a 45 acre seventh generation family farm in Lansing, NY, in operation since 1804. We are a diversified livestock farm, providing high quality, healthy meats directly to consumers in our community. All our livestock is grown using a grass-based diet, and we focus on a low-stress life for our animals. We operate our farm using sustainable practices, building healthier soil every year through innovative grazing methods. We believe a small family farm can still be a viable business in today’s “bigger is better” world, and that small farms supplying locally grown food to their communities can create a more resilient, healthy, and meaningful agricultural system.
