Specialties
Gopher Broke Farm is a diversified small farm situated on 40+ acres tucked into the literal northeast corner of Hyde Park at the dead end of a dirt road 8 miles from town. We raise pork, eggs, and poultry for sale to local restaurants, the Waterbury Farmer’s Market, and for direct sale to individual customers.
Because we believe that healthy soil is the basis of a healthy community, a community of plants, animals, and people, we follow organic practices in managing our land, crops, and livestock. We don’t use chemical fertilizers, herbicides or pesticides on our crops or medicated feeds for our animals. We believe that «letting animals be animals» is the best way to raise livestock.
Our poultry and pigs are free-ranged on pasture. We’re also members of the American Livestock Breeds Conservancy.
In New York City however, we focus on providing beautiful Christmas Tress to lighten up your home during the season.
History
Established in 1970.
Gopher Broke Farm is what happens when a hobby takes over your life. We’ve been growing our own food on our homestead tucked away in the very northeast corner of Hyde Park at the end of a dirt road since the 1970s. We raised four kids on homegrown pork, chicken, and beef, and the bounty of our huge garden. One of them, our oldest daughter. Molly, stuck around and now lives with her husband, Dan, and their two kids, Olive and Hank, on six acres we gave them in a house that George built for them.
