      Reber Rock Farm, Essex, NY

      Feels like we skipped spring and went straight to summer.  I was travelling for the first two weeks of May and came home to a green lush world.  Our crew is solid this season, and the farm looks beautiful.
      Reber Rock Farm is managed by Racey Bingham, Nathan Henderson, Chad Vogel, and Gwen Jamison (right to left).

      Reber Rock Farm is an 88-acre draft powered farm on the southern edge of the Reber Valley in Essex, NY owned by Racey Bingham and Nathan Henderson, and co-managed with Gwen Jamison and Chad Vogel.

      Using our draft horses for field preparation, cultivation and harvesting we use organic methods to produce grassfed beef, pasture raised pork, chicken and turkey, herbs, vegetables, grains, dry beans, garlic, shiitake mushrooms and a plethora of value-added products including sunflower oil, maple syrup, pickles, sauces and frozen vegetables.

      Our goal is to produce delicious, healthy, affordable food for the Essex foodscape and beyond. We work with draft horses because we believe their presence on the farm is good for the land, the air and our souls. Reber Rock is designed as a two-family farm, with the management and labor burden split across two couples, so that each can stay health and happy for many years to come. (Reber Rock Farm)
