Snowdance Farm, located near Livingston Manor, New York, is the passion of Susan and Marc Jaffe. Two former New York City executives turned farmers, the Jaffes gave up hectic lives in midtown Manhattan in 2000 for the beauty and peace of the Manor, where they are also raising daughter Taylor, 8, and son Teddy, 5.

The Jaffes have turned their 80 acres into a thriving chicken and beef farm. They raise pastured poultry that are absolutely free of hormones, additives or antibiotics. Their birds feed on grass and seasonal berries—blueberries, blackberries and June berries.
