Seven Bridges Farm

Jeff Shanks began his journey in the cattle business at a young age, driven by a passion for raising the best beef possible. Over the years, this dedication has evolved into a tradition of excellence, producing all-natural champions that customers have come to expect and deserve. The farm's reputation for high-quality meat products is well-known, with a history of accolades such as the 1972 Grand Champion Steer at the New York State Fair.

The farm raises its cattle without the use of growth hormones or routine antibiotics, feeding them all-natural grains and forage free of pesticides and animal by-products. Each animal can be traced back to its first day of life on the farm, ensuring transparency and quality. This approach emphasizes the best health and environmental practices, resulting in tender, juicy, and full-flavored beef with less fat.

Customers can purchase products directly from the farm by calling ahead to set up a visit, or find the farm's offerings at the Rochester Public Market year-round. The farm also supplies various local establishments, including Lori's Natural Foods, Public Provisions, The Sheffield, Swillburger, Tapas 177 Lounge, Trio, and Velvet Belly. The farm's products, including beef, chicken, pork, and eggs, are praised for their superior taste and quality, with many loyal customers attesting to the exceptional flavor and tenderness of the meat.
