foodbriefs Non-GMO Corn in South Salem
T
hree Feathers Farm’s most popular produce, its non-GMO corn, is ripe and ready for sale in the farm’s garden house in South Salem. Family owned and operated, the farm is open seven days a week, from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m., from Three Feathers Farm's corn field May through October. “We have a self-service garden house, where you will find fresh-picked vegetables and farm-fresh chicken, eggs and flowers,” says owner Jeanine Haberny. “We pasture-raise our cows and sell grass-fed beef. In the spring and summer, we sell fresh roaster chickens as well. We have customers who travel from all over just to purchase our veggies, beef and chickens.” While the farm isn’t certified organic, it practices organic standards, Haberny says. “Everything that we sell is raised or grown on our farm, and it is all non-GMO.” Three Feathers Farm is located at 371 Smith Ridge Rd. (Rte. 123), South Salem, NY, directly across the road from Oakridge Shopping Center.
