Cobblestone
Valley is a diversified organic farm certified by NOFA-NY,
located in the heart of New York State right off Interstate 81. We are
20 minutes south of Syracuse and 10 minutes north of Cortland in the small
town of Preble.
The backbone of the farm is dairy, with all other enterprises connected
to and synergistic with milk production. In addition to the dairy we produce
certified organic pastured poultry, which includes both broilers and turkey,
grass-fed beef, pastured pork, pick-your-own strawberries, and compost.
We sell our milk to Organic
Valley, which is a national, farmer-owned, farmer-operated
co-op based in LaFarge, Wisconsin. If local organic food is important
to you, then please support Organic Valley! Check out the Organic Valley
Website. There is a lot of great information, and coupons too! Join Farm
Friends for that.
At the present time the farm is in the fourth generation of the Knapp
family and we are doing our utmost to preserve, conserve, and rebuild
the wonderful soil resources in this valley. In organic farming we use
nature as our teacher and we believe that all health begins with the soil.
As such our soils are our most precious resource. Healthy soils grow healthy
plants, which produce healthy animals and, in turn, healthy people.
We’d like to take a moment to thank you for your interest in locally
grown foods. We sincerely hope that your interest will lead to your support
of a local and thereby much more sustainable food infrastructure. Very
often, the first step is the most difficult one to take. Once you’ve
taken that first step towards purchasing locally it all becomes much easier.
If there is a product you are interested in that we don’t carry,
we can often direct you to a local vendor that does.
