Longfield is a small family farm located near Albany, New York. We produce grass-fed lamb, wool and artisan breads. We are committed to sustainable pasture management and humane animal husbandry. Our animals are hormone-free and only receive antibiotics when sick.  Our chickens clean the barn, so we use less parasite medication. Our farm and home are solar powered and our pastures absorb more greenhouse gases than all of our animals and farm operations produce.

Our Breads-- We bake sourdoughs and yeast breads. Many of our breads are baked in a wood-fired, beehive oven. The ingredients in our breads are from local sources whenever possible: The flour is milled on our farm or in New York. Eggs usually come from our own hens. We sweeten with local honey or maple syrup (never with refined sugar).   Most of the seeds in our breads are organic; some are grown right on the farm.  

Our Wool -- We sell white and natural colored Romney, Shetland and rare Leicester Longwool fleeces and rovings  -- perfect for handspinners. Our Romney Fleece took the Prize for Best White Fleece at the NY State Sheep & Wool Festival in 2010. We ship anywhere. Call or e-mail us for pricing.

Our Lamb -- We specialize in custom cut, whole lamb. Our lambs should be born in May and processed in November. Our lamb is grassfed from start to finish. Because of our sustainable pasture management and our use of a rare, metabolically efficient breed, our lambs finish at 75-85% of the size of grain-fed lambs, but with the healthier attributes associated with grass-fed meats. Your lamb will arrive, cut to your specifications, cryovac packed and frozen.  We are currently taking orders. Please call, if you would like to order a lamb or if you have questions -- (518) 861-5280. 

Where to Find Us --   From Fall to Spring, some customers pick a bread at the farm. Call to join our "Winter Bread" club.  (518) 861-5280.
