Why Not Farm is a small, family-run operation in the rolling countryside of Bethlehem, Connecticut, committed to raising animals ethically and providing clean, local food to the community. The farm specializes in Registered Black Angus cattle, along with chickens, turkeys, and eggs—all raised with care, respect, and a focus on animal welfare. Their herds are grass-fed year-round without the use of hormones or antibiotics, and poultry roam freely with access to indoor and outdoor pens.

The farm’s offerings are as thoughtful as they are diverse, with an array of premium meats available both by the cut and in bulk shares. Whether it’s Cryovac-packed steaks, whole roasting chickens, or farm-fresh eggs from Rhode Island Reds, everything is handled with a dedication to quality. Why Not Farm also embraces resourcefulness by offering pet treats made from dehydrated beef liver and chicken feet, homemade suet feeders for birds, and charming feather cat toys harvested naturally from the farm’s own birds.

Owned and operated by Susan Burkowsky, Why Not Farm is as much about community as it is about agriculture. They offer farm pickup, delivery, and shipping, ensuring that customers near and far can enjoy the fruits of their labor. With playful touches like their “12 Days of Cow-Mas” meat box specials and an upcoming line of hand-poured candles, Why Not Farm blends charm, practicality, and sustainability into everything they do.
