Elk Ravine Farm

Located in the scenic Smithfield Valley of Amenia, New York, Elk Ravine Farm has been family-owned and operated by Jim and Janis Archer for over 25 years. Known for its dedication to sustainability, environmentalism, and education, the farm has built a reputation for producing some of the finest meats in Dutchess County.

Elk Ravine Farm raises its animals on clean, healthy pastures where they have access to sunshine, fresh air, and acres of green grass. The animals are fed Certified Organic Feed sourced locally from Lightning Tree Farm in Millbrook, NY, and drink pure water from an underground aquifer. The farm prioritizes the health, well-being, and humane treatment of its animals, raising them in small batches to ensure quality and natural taste. No antibiotics, artificial hormones, pesticides, or chemicals are used on the livestock or the land.

Elk Ravine Farm offers private, hands-on farm tours and carriage rides, allowing visitors to connect with the animals, including their Scottish Highland Cattle. The farm sells Heritage Breed Turkeys, Chicken, Pork, Beef, and eggs, and offers custom meat orders by the half or whole side of beef or pork, as well as reservations for whole chickens and Thanksgiving Turkeys.
