at dole & bailey, we support the revitalization of farming in a healthy, sustainable way.
LocalHarvest_Logo_OG.png

Dole & Bailey and Northeast Family Farms (NEFF) have long been at the forefront of revitalizing local and regional food systems across the Northeast. By collaborating directly with farm owners, we've championed the growth, harvest, and distribution of locally raised meats to respected chefs throughout our region.

We are thrilled to announce the re-launch of our entire NEFF line with the integration of Meyer Local Harvest into our esteemed NEFF beef program. This marks a significant milestone in our unwavering commitment to NEFF protocols, while reinforcing our dedication to enhancing the quality and sustainability of our product offerings.

 

Our beef and poultry are sourced exclusively from family-owned farms, where animals roam freely on pasture, without antibiotics or hormones. This ensures

the highest standards of ethical and sustainable farming practices. Our expanded capacity now allows us to offer a wider range of beef options, from sub-

primal cuts to portion control cuts and ground beef, fulfilling all your local and regional farm-to-table needs. Whether you're planning intimate dinners,

university meal plans, or large-scale catering events, we are here to meet and exceed your expectations with our premium, responsibly sourced beef.

We are dedicated to sourcing and stocking only the finest quality specialty and dairy products available to us. We partner with prestigious

cheesemongers in order to offer our customers an amazing assortment of options that are all guaranteed to enhance your menus. We focus

on partnering with family-owned, women-owned, local farms with a focus on clean ingredients, sustainability, and humane efforts.

The Local Harvest Beef program is comprised of over 300 small cattle farmers in the Northeast.

All of the beef from Local Harvest is free of antibiotics and growth hormones, predominantly

Angus, and are pasture raised on family-owned farms. All cattle qualify for Meyer Natural

Foods’ Humanely Handled Program and are harvested at Cargill Wyalusing in Pennsylvania

under the humane meat production vision created by Dr. Temple Grandin with the “best

of class food safety interventions and product specs.”

  • Calves born in ME, MA, VT, and NY.

    • (~200 -250 days in this growing stage)

  • All cattle are pasture raised and when seasonally required, provided locally sourced hay and corn along with veterinary specific vitamins and minerals to promote animal health and well being.
