McCormack Farm

Nestled in the picturesque Valhalla Mountains, McCormack Farm in Burton is an embodiment of adventurous spirit, innovation, and sustainable farming practices. For 120 years, the McCormack family has cultivated the land, transforming it into a thriving farm featuring grass-fed beef, pastured pork and eggs, blueberries, walnuts and hazelnuts.
With three generations living on the property, Ron, Lori, Forest, Laurel and Sequoia all work together to create a harmonious balance between agriculture and the environment. Through regenerative farming they focus on building the soil health, actively regenerating and nurturing it for future generations. A walk through the farm shows ducks, chickens, turkeys and even cows roaming through the orchards, embracing silvopasture; a practice that combines tree cultivation with livestock grazing. The farm is not merely about producing food. It’s about fostering a deep-rooted connection to the land, a shared commitment to sustainability and a vision for a bountiful future.
The McCormacks’ most unique aspect of farming is their inability to sit still, a characteristic that fuels their constant experimentation. This adventurous spirit and willingness to embrace new crops will continue to expand their offerings and adds excitement to the harvest. Forest, living up to his name, is always on the lookout for new tree varieties that will add to their already successful and diverse nut harvest.
McCormack Farm’s legacy is not just about producing food; it’s about fostering a culture of curiosity, experimentation and a shared commitment to sustainable agriculture for generations.
