Summer 2014
It has been a productive spring and summer at the farm. Though we have downsized over the past two years, we still have plenty of pork products available. We are at the Ledyard Farmer’s Market every Wednesday from 3:30 – 6:30 or you can visit us at the farm by giving us a call and scheduling an appointment. Days and times may vary but we are flexible!
Due to our down-sizing, we will not be able to offer any turkeys during the upcoming Holiday Season

About Cedar Meadow Farm
Cedar Meadow Farm, LLC is located in Ledyard, Connecticut. We started out nearly a decade ago as poultry hobbyists. 2013 marks our eighth season as a farm offering direct-to-consumer products. Though we are focused almost exclusively on pork, we may have lamb and rabbits available occasionally. We are a small farm and supplies of our products will be limited. Please take a moment to browse through the links at your left and read about what we are doing and why you should consider changing the way you shop for food.
We recently got re-inspected by the Animal Welfare Approved and passed with flying colors. The AWA designation is a really big deal as there are very strict requirements in place to meet their standards. Here is an excerpt from their website below:
“The Animal Welfare Approved standards are the most comprehensive and rigorous of all the animal-related accreditations available in the United States, as noted by the World Society for the Protection of Animals in a recent comparison of third-party certifiers. Animal Welfare Approved farms allow animals to behave naturally and socialize freely. On these farms, you'll see animals breathing fresh, clean air, the way you've always thought it should be.”
We are the FIRST farm in Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Vermont, or Maine – ALL of New England - who has earned this designation! We will be one of a growing number of farms in New England to be Animal Welfare Approved.
