Rolling green hills offer prime grazing for about 80 head of cattle. The meat is processed on-site to Hemlock Hill’s exacting standards, then sold at its store and at other select restaurants and markets.
Hemlock Hill Farm
Cortlandt Manor
In 1939, Nicholas DeMaria, who’d moved north from the Bronx in search of affordable land, established this 120-acre family farm. Today, his son John and granddaughter Laura oversee the operations. Pasture-raised meats are their specialty, including Black Angus cattle, Dorset lamb, Yorkshire and Berkshire hogs, and Barred Rock chickens. Shop at their store any day year-round or stop by for once-a-month events through October — with barbecue, beer, music, farm tours, and more.
