About the Farm
CJEJ Farm was established in 2000 by Chris and Joyce Brady and their two sons, Earl and Jacob, with the farm's name cleverly derived from their initials. This family operation has grown into a comprehensive agricultural enterprise that exemplifies the spirit of local farming in New Hampshire's Coos County.
The farm operates on an impressive scale with about 50 beef cattle (mostly Herefords), 20 feeder and market hogs, 100 laying hens, 100 turkeys, and 600 broilers. They cultivate and harvest hay and grain crops on 300 leased acres, growing soybeans, oats, barley, and corn. Their commitment to sustainability shines through their practice of using homegrown grain to create custom feed rations for their livestock and poultry using their own grinder mixer, while employing crop rotation to maintain soil health and control pests naturally.
In 2015, the Brady family expanded their operation by adding The MeatHouse, a USDA Custom Exempt and NH State approved processing facility. This addition allows them to offer custom butchering services and create value-added products from their commercial kitchen, including homemade chicken pot pies, holiday dessert pies and rolls, link sausage, sliced bacon, and shaved steak. Their dedication to reducing feed costs while increasing yield through homegrown grain reflects their commitment to maintaining a viable and sustainable livestock operation.
