STONE HOUSE FARM

What STONE HOUSE FARM does

Stone House Grain operates a certified organic feed mill and grain farm headquartered at 3161 US Route 9 in Hudson, New York. The company cultivates approximately 3,000 acres of Regenerative Organic Certified farmland, producing corn, peas, soybeans, wheat, barley, oats, sunflowers, flax, and cover crops, and runs an on-site mill that cracks and grinds roughly 75% of the grain inputs used in its own feed formulations. It sells species-specific certified organic feeds for poultry, hogs, cattle, sheep, and goats, including extensive soy-free and corn-free variants, alongside whole grains, hay, cover crop seeds, poultry grit, and third-party mineral and supplement brands (Fertrell, Redmond, kelp meal, alfalfa meal, oyster shell, diatomaceous earth).

The business serves Northeast US farms — primarily working farms, homesteaders, and independent feed stores — through a multi-channel model: Shopify-powered ecommerce, LTL freight shipping via R&L Carriers, regional bulk delivery (minimum 3 tons, up to 6 tons per truck with multi-compartment mixed-feed capability) within roughly 100 miles of Hudson, a dealer network, and on-farm pickup. Pricing is unit-based across 50-lb bag ($26-$32), tote, and bulk tiers, with a $50 per-order custom grinding service and a Custom Feed Program for tailored rations. Certifications include USDA Organic, NOFA-NY Certified Organic, Real Organic Project, and ROC status achieved in 2025.

Stone House Grain is privately held with no disclosed funding rounds or institutional investors. The company employs 12 people and is led by Farm General Manager Jay Goldmark, Feed Production Manager Herb Phillips, Commercial Manager Andrew Currie, Operations Manager Lou Zapp, Feed Store Sales lead Jeanine Earnhart (who joined from Lightning Tree Farm after its 2023 closure), Office Manager Nikki Bower, and Field Crops Team Lead Skip McCagg, who has been with the farm since 1987. When Lightning Tree Farm closed in 2023, several regional farming relationships and customers transitioned to Stone House Grain.
