The Full Story

We are a Muslim Family farm and ranch started in 2022.  Our goal is to provide you with a place that is in harmony.  You are welcome to come by and visit, but please pardon we continue to upgrade.
 

WHERE IS THE HALAL?

​

What we immediately found difficult was the limited availability of Halal outside of bigger towns.  And the higher prices for meats especially goat.  We also noted a different taste with the goat meat.  We did some general inquiries with many people and research over a couple of years and learned this:

​

  1. Most of the goat and lamb meat found in New York comes from out of country; such as New Zealand

  2. The slaughter occurs in those countries and is frozen before a long transport

  3. Large commercial slaughter facilities, even those claiming Halal, are not complying with all of the tenants of Halal

  4. Regional domestic facilities are not complying with all of the tenants of Halal

  5. Very few items designated as Halal are actually 3rd party certified as Halal

  6. United States Dept of Agriculture (USDA) doesn't recognize HALAL as valuable (we were told that by USDA)

  7. New York facilities (restaurants, grocery stores, farms, etc) rarely get 3rd party Halal certified

  8. And very rarely do the markets comply with New York State Halal regulations

​

HALAL IS MORE THAN JUST PROPER SLAUGHTER

​

So the idea of our farm & ranch is that it could fill the gap of providing local Halal meats at a reasonable (lowest possible) price.  We would provide a true Halal facility that followed the guidelines from beginning to end.

Our business plan goals do not focus on maximizing profits.  Instead of profits we are based on number of customers

(and repeat customers).  The more customers means more people are enjoying all the benefits of Halal to include compliance with religious obligations.  As we grow we can continue to expand and help more and more people.  By helping others our business requirements get taken care.
