Cascade Brook Farm

The animals at Cascade Brook Farm live their lives in the most clean, sanitary, compassionate and natural environment that can be provided.  Quality control is one of our most important goals from birth to packaging. We are proud of the wholesome, tender and flavorful meat produced at our North Sutton, NH Farm. Our animals are processed when they are in top condition, providing our customers with the best tasting meat possible. Our processing is done at a USDA inspected plant, vacuum packed and frozen fresh. We offer delivery or you can pick up at the farm. Additionally, eggs are available, courtesy of our colorful flock of chickens that have free run of the farm during the daylight hours. Specialty “Rustic” breads are available by special order.

The farm consists of 178+ acres of managed New Hampshire grasslands and forest. Currently we have approximately 45 acres in pasture and are in the process of converting another 36 acres from forest to pasture. We expect to have cows on it by the fall of 2012. At this time, the cattle herd, all purebred black Angus, numbers around 14 during the winter and between 25 to 30 during the pasture season.   And this includes our registered champion Black Angus Bull “Jimmy“. We are building our herd through genetics of calving ease, carcass merits, maternal instincts and our own observations of temperament, hardiness for the NH winters and more. Our cattle, as all our animals, receive no medications, growth hormones of drugs of any kind. The are well fed and strong. Our herd is growing and will continue to grow.

As for the people, the farm is owned, managed and worked by Cindy and Ed Canane. Cindy transitioned careers from one in Information Technology to full time farmer/rancher in May 2011. Since I (Ed) am writing this content, I can tell you I and others like to say “she does it all”. As with most farms, someone needs to have off farm income, and that is me. When I am not chained to my desk, I am on the farm working with the livestock and grass farming. It is time consuming, sometimes hard work. We love all our animals unconditionally and cannot imagine anything more rewarding.
