Miles Smith Farm is a 36 acre farm in Loudon, New Hampshire. The 36 acres combines part of a farm owned by Miles Smith in the 1850’s and two neighboring farms. Most of the land is pasture. The cattle we raise are grass fed on the farm’s and about 300 acres we lease around the state. All of our cattle are raised in the state of New Hampshire, so our meat is truly from New Hampshire. Because we can’t raise enough cattle ourselves we buy animals from other local farmers who follow similar practices.
PHILOSOPHY
Bruce and Carole chose to raise Scottish Highlander Cattle because:
- They are well adapted to our climate and don’t need to be wintered in barns.
- Produce a low-fat meat.
- Have strong maternal instincts.
- Excellent protectors
- Visually stunning – we can watch them all day.
Our natural farming practices return value to the land – by using natural fertilizer, (manure) instead of chemical fertilizers (NPK). The manure provides soil nutrients for the pasture and a more diverse flora than NPK does.
