What A Grass-Fed Animal Farm Looks Like

With all the comments going back and forth about animal farming on Boesch Farm, EG Patch decided to take a field trip to Pat McNiff’s farm operation in Jamestown, which has many of the animals he wants to bring to Boesch Farm.

McNiff raises grass-fed animals and has an extensive rotating system for the chickens, turkeys, rabbits, pigs, cows and sheep that he raises in Jamestown.

When asked what he would bring to Boesch, McNiff said that he wanted to live on the farm first to decide what would work on the farm.

McNiff, who signed a short-term lease on just the house at Boesch last week, will move in this weekend. A longer-term lease for both the house and the property will be negotiated starting next week, with a public hearing on Monday night to let people air any concerns about the lease as well as have state officials discuss of organic animal farming.

McNiff has until the end of the year to move everything off the Jamestown property, which is privately owned and being put on the market.
