Mission:

Eight Mile Creek Farm believes that through diversification  of both plant and animal species, we have created, and continue to improve  on, a sustainable system that works to produce healthy food for our community, and that leaves our environment in a better state of health.

About Us:

Established in 2005, Eight Mile Creek Farm sits upon 223 acres (plus 120 acres leased for hay production) tucked away on a dirt road in Westerlo, NY in the Heldeberg Hilltowns.  The house and barns were originally built in 1835.  From that time until the 1950’s it was a working family farm, transitioning into low-scale agricultural production for hay in the mid-1950’s.

Pam set out to restore the land as a productive working farm in 2005 by building a diversified agricultural business.  She has obtained, and maintains, the farm’s annual organic certification, providing customers with the healthiest products available.  Additionally, Pam works hard to protect and nurture the natural resources that their farm depends on for survival.

Pam produces more than 30 kinds of vegetables and herbs, offering each  in several varieties. Produce includes certified organic beans, broccoli, brussels sprouts, cauliflower, cabbage, carrots, escarole, fennel, asian greens, lettuce, mesclun, chard, kale, kohlrabi, leeks,  onions, scallions,  rutabaga, peppers, radishes, summer and winter squashes, tomatillos, tomatoes, sugar snap peas, broccoli raab, collards, radicchio, mustard greens, turnips, eggplant, beets, potatoes, basil, cilantro, parsley, dill, many medicinal herbs and sunflowers.

She also raises certified organic grass-fed beef, pork, chicken and pastured eggs year-round; animals receive no growth hormones, antibiotics or medications.  Pam’s animals are raised the way nature intended- fed lots of green grass in the summer and  hay in the winter.    Organic turkey and geese are available for the holidays.
