Red Poll Cattle
A dual-purpose cattle breed known for excellent, highly marbled tender meat and rich milk. Originally from England, the breed is now threatened and listed on the Livestock Conservancy.
Free Range Pigs
Hidden Creek Farm is developing the Tamalitsa™ breed of hog in a Green-Pastured™ forest and sylvopasture environment. The meat is tender, succulent, and more moist than most other pasture raised breeds.
Katahdin Sheep
An American-bred, medium sized sheep with excellent, mild meat quality, easy handling, outstanding pasture growth, and easy lambing characteristics.
Layers
Our large flock of mixed layers includes Barred Rock, Sexlinks, Auracanas, and the newly developing, predator savvy Shenandoah breed of hens and select roosters.
Heritage Turkeys
We raise heritage birds in two ways. The broad breasted types are pasture raised with protective fencing and are moved into new pastures every week. The leaner, more 'wild' heritage birds roam the property as they choose.
Silver Fox and Polyface Rabbits
Hidden Creek Farm raises pastured pure bred Silver Fox rabbits and a specialty breed of large brown rabbit started at Polyface Farm. Rabbits are sold as pets, for meat, and as breeding stock.
