Cedar Meadow Farm, LLC is located in Ledyard, Connecticut.  We started out nearly a decade ago as poultry hobbyists.  2012 marks our seventh season as a farm offering direct-to-consumer poultry products, including chicken pullets (live young hens), broilers, turkeys, ducks, and fresh eggs.  We also have beef, pork, lamb, and rabbits available on a seasonal basis.  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.  I’ve copied 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.

We believe your food should not contain antibiotics and growth hormones, shipped hundreds of miles across the country and handled by countless individuals.  We oppose “high-throughput factory farming” and are doing our part to provide a fresh and healthy product to our patrons
