"Founded by a couple who struggled to find meat that was both truly halal and humanely raised, this 14-acre Rock Tavern operation emphasizes 'tayeb'—food that is wholesome and produced with respect for animals. They raise goats, lamb, and organic vegetables on-site and source mostly organic, 100% grass-fed livestock and poultry from trusted upstate New York growers to meet local and national demand. Their hybrid model combines halal slaughter with organic and grass-fed standards, ships products nationwide, and positions itself as a return to older, less industrialized methods of animal husbandry." - Nicole Rasul
