Grass-Fed Beef in New York: Where to Buy

New York City's Greenmarket network and Hudson Valley's thriving agricultural scene make New York one of the best states in the Northeast for finding locally raised grass-fed beef. Statewide, Whole Foods, Wegmans, and Trader Joe's cover most of the retail market. Upstate New York, particularly the Hudson Valley, Catskills, Finger Lakes, and Western NY, has a dense cluster of grass-fed operations, many of whom sell at NYC and upstate farmers markets. Dirty Dog Farm, based right here in New York, ships weekly to families across an 11-state Northeast route.
