About the Farm
Nestled atop the scenic hills of Townsend, Massachusetts, Nissiquassick Hill Farmstead has been a beacon of sustainable agriculture for over 17 years. The farm's name honors the original Native American designation for this elevated landscape, where the current stewards have established their homestead at the very summit of the hill. This small farmstead embodies a deep respect for both the land's heritage and its natural potential.
The heart of Nissiquassick Hill Farmstead lies in its commitment to raising animals with exceptional welfare standards. Their approach centers on allowing livestock to express their natural behaviors while providing them with optimal nutrition. Layer hens roam freely through sheep and goat pens, foraging on a diverse diet of bugs, clover, and grass, supplemented with Green Mountain organic pelletized grain. The farm's sheep and goats graze on pastures and forage from surrounding woodlands, receiving organic hay, grain, and what the farmers lovingly describe as the "higher-welfare" method of care.
The farmstead's philosophy of natural raising extends to every aspect of their operation. Twice yearly, they raise broiler chickens in cage-free environments with outdoor access, allowing them to enjoy the same natural diet of green grass, clover, and insects as their laying hens, while receiving organic broiler grower crumble. Their Icelandic sheep provide beautiful yarn in natural colors, while Boer goats offer what they describe as delicious, non-gamey rustic meat. Every product reflects their dedication to hormone-free, all-natural farming practices that prioritize both animal welfare and the quality of food they bring to their community.
