Cowberry Crossing Farm is located on fifty acres in Claverack,
New York. The Harrisons are committed to local, humane,
sustainable farming and use organic/biodynamic methods. The
small traditional family-run farm has a large and varied vegetable
garden providing especially high quality food for our CSA members
and farmers market customers. Animals found on the farm
include chickens, ducks, turkeys, rabbits, sheep, pigs, cows,
horses, cats, bees, and Glory, the border collie. All are fed
exclusively on organic feed and spend their days roaming freely on
the farm. We are happy to answer any questions about the farm
and welcome visitors. Their children, Grace and Reese share
in the work and fun on the farm and just might be your tour
guides!
Richard and Cecile Harrison moved to Claverack in 2003 from
California in search of rural living for their family.
Community, living in harmony with nature, and a place to farm were
the couple's top priorities. Richard grew up on a small farm
in Sussex, England and Cecile was raised in a rural area of
California very focused on horses. By farming with wholistic
organic and biodynamic farming practices, they hope to support the
earth's well-being as well as offer food with higher nutritional
value and superior taste.
