SOVA Farms

Rose and her husband Ed wanted a lifestyle change that would allow them to spend more time together while becoming more productive and closely attuned to the community around them. So they purchased a farm in upstate New York and named it SOVA Farms, which stands for "Stewards of Vast Abundance." The farm is nestled among the rolling hills of Norwich, New York. It has naturally defined fields and certified organic pastures, a stream going through the middle of the farm, and a handful of ponds. It was originally established in the early 19th century and was a part of the Underground Railroad between 1830-1860. As with many farms in the area, it had historically been a dairy farm, then became a hobby farm in the decades before becoming, once again, a working farm as SOVA.

SOVA Farms made its name with certified organic, soy-free eggs from free ranging, pastured hens. They also produce organic broiler and heritage chickens. In the fall of 2017, Saint Croix hair sheep arrived to the farm and gave birth to organic lamb the following spring.

The decision to have the farm and animals certified organic was an easy one, and even though it means adhering to exacting standards, the customers can not only be assured of high quality food but also know that Rose and Ed are practicing humane and sustainable farming. Rose and Ed say they feel blessed to be able to work the land to the betterment of the soil, the grass, the animals and their customers.
