Red Poll Cattle
Heritage Red Poll cattle breed that thrive on pasture and are prized for their flavorful, lean meat and rich milk high in nutrients and trace elements. Our cattle feed wholly on organic grass or hay at all times.
Tamalitsa™ Pigs
Hidden Creek Farm's proprietary Tamalitsa™ pig has been bred to live year round on sylvopasture. Tamalitsa™ meat, only available through Hidden Creek Farm, is tender, lean, succulent, and flavorful.
Katahdin Sheep
Katahdins are an American-bred 'hair sheep' of medium size with excellent, flavorful meat quality. Our Katahdins live on pasture year round, often in 'flerds' with our Red Poll cattle, who keep them safe from predators.
Layers
Our heritage breed layers roam the pastures year round in search of tasty morsels. Their multicolored eggs have deep yellow/orange yolks, are low in cholesterol, and high in nutrients and trace elements.
Heritage & Traditional Turkeys
Hidden Creek Farm turkeys are raised in two different ways. Broad-breasted traditional birds are protected by net fencing and are moved into new pastures every week. The leaner, more 'wild' heritage birds roam the property as they choose.
