Pasture-raised
Animals live on open grass, rotated through the season — never confined to a lot.
Our Story
Steep pastures, honest winters, real food.
Argyle Farms sits on the hills above the hamlet of Andes, in the Western Catskills — where the grass runs steep and nothing about farming here is easy.
Argyle Farms sits on the hills above the hamlet of Andes, in the Western Catskills of Delaware County, New York — Tremperskill country, where steep pastures fold over the ridgelines and the Tremper Kill runs down to the Pepacton. Ridges climb past 3,000 feet, and the winters are honest.
It is high, steep ground, on land first settled in 1784 — the year the town of Andes itself began. We raise heritage breeds the slow way, rotated across open grass through the season and finished without shortcuts.
The animals on our crest are the animals in the fields: Belted Galloway and white-faced Hereford cattle, Cheviot sheep, Boer goats, heritage hogs, laying hens, and pheasants. We use the whole animal, and price it fairly, so good food doesn’t go to waste.
What we can’t sell at the barn, we ship cold to your door — grass-fed beef and lamb, heritage pork, farm eggs, wildflower honey, and 100% virgin-wool blankets from our own flock. From our hills to your table.

A note from the Head of Farm
“We raise the animals on our crest the way these hills demand — slow, out on grass, and honest. What we can’t sell at the barn, we ship cold to your door.”
