Autumn Harvest Farm is a terrific place in what is technically Romulus, NY. Tim and Sarah Haws are the owners; there is a farm store both in person and online. And, when you drive up, you can see some delightful chickens and, as importantly, chicken houses. They also sell pork products, beef products and, wonderfully enough, some terrific butter. Their website also directs one's attention to goats?
Let me elaborate.
When it comes to pigs, they raise purebred Berkshire pigs. And yes, that matters. You may even recall the days when high end restaurants proudly indicated their pork was from Berkshire pigs. (Click here if you want to read a bit more on Berkshire pigs in particular. Also, you can click here if you want to read my views about a book on pork reviewed here on the blog. Or here for a bit entitled "Pigs Are Us?" which is also about a related book.) And, I can attest to the truly wonderful chorizo they make, for example, having recently used some to make chorizo and potato tacos
What else? We buy eggs there - and are delighted to see the chickens running around from little house to little house when we park. (They are circa $3.50 per dozen and taste great.) I also like the butter from there. Mmmmmm.
Location: 5170 Kins Corners Road, Romulus, NY 14541
(One weird thing: when driving up from Ithaca to go there, our mapquest gets very confused. I have absolutely no idea why. Be warned.)
