Slow Food, Travel, Craft Beer

First stop on the bike ride to Canada was at Grazin’ Angus Acres in Ghent, NY. I was met by owner Dan Gibson former marketing and finance guru turned cattle farmer. Much like it’s owner, the farm at GAA has gone through a lifestyle change as well. Like a lot of smaller dairy farms in New York, dairy moved out with the tide of “get big or get out” Farm Bill policy and went fallow (out of use). Once a conventional dairy, GAA is now a strictly grass fed Angus beef cattle farm that also produces some of the best eggs and chickens in the state.

I am starting to pride myself with my writing abilities, at least where I’m the only editor. But when I can I would much rather let the farmer tell you their story. Here’s an interview Dan did with MSNBC that gives you the low-down on the farm. I promise it’s not that long.

So, how did I like spending time with the folks at GAA? I could not have been any more impressed or felt any more welcomed.
