Randall Cattle on Howland Homestead Farm, South Kent, Connecticut
http://www.howlandhomesteadfarm.com/RandallCattle.html
We then, in early 1994, bought the cow we had previously looked at in NH. All of the other Randalls that had gone to several owners for conservation (except those now with Cynthia Creech. In Tennessee), had been lost. In the summer of 1994 we travelled to Cynthia's Artemis Farm. In Jefferson City, TN, to look at her girls, and bought 2 heifers from her later that year. We were on our way. Over the years, Phil has milked 26 Randall cows. Most of the veal and beef we sell is from the Randalls. Minnie, Kerr...

About Howland Homestead Farm. A Brief History, Our Products, Randall Cattle, Tamworth Pigs
http://www.howlandhomesteadfarm.com/AboutHHF.html
Soon after starting we purchased some Highland cattle. And began an organic grass fed meat business, which we still run. Randall cattle. Came on the scene about 4 years later, and we raised them along with the Highlands for many years, with the last Highlands leaving the farm in 2004. We maintained a cow/calf herd of about 60 total head for much of that time. We now have almost exclusively Randall cattle on the farm, around 35 head. Dianne grew up on her family's dairy farm. We farm organically, selling ...

Rare Breed Chickens on the Farm
http://www.howlandhomesteadfarm.com/Chickens.html
A Buff Polish rooster. Assorted rare breed chicks in the brooder. We now just raise chickens for our own free range egg production, with occasional surplus for family and friends. The one thing that has remained constant over the years is our dedication to the use and preservation of rare poultry breeds. We currently have mainly Delawares (which we've had from the beginning) and Marans, with a few odd remnants of Shamo, Sumatra, Dorking and Buff Polish. 175 Geer Mountain Road,.

Our Farm Philosophy, Howland Homestead Farm, South Kent, Connecticut
http://www.howlandhomesteadfarm.com/OurPhilosophy.html
Howland Homestead Farm's philosophy is difficult to describe. We often characterize ourselves as Organic but aren't Certified Organic. It has never seemed necessary to become certified, as our customers deal with us directly. To further complicate things, we have no confidence in the current USDA Organic regulations and fear that they will continue to be weakened to favor big business. Besides lots of grass, hay, weeds, and garden leftovers, we also feed our pigs milk (from our cows) and Certified Organi...
