Full Profile

Forks Farm is a family farm in Orangeville, Pennsylvania (Columbia County), currently run by Deb Race and Jim LaPlante, who purchased the operation on April 1, 2022 after 30-plus years in healthcare IT, mentored through their first year by previous owners Todd and John Hopkins. The farm's own site states its beef is "100% grass-fed, no grain, no chemicals on our pastures for over 30 years," with Angus/Hereford cattle raised entirely on pasture and moved regularly through portable enclosures to fresh grass. Beef is custom-aged and flash-frozen.

Alongside beef, the farm raises pastured pork, lamb, turkey, and eggs. Beef and other meats are sold through the on-farm store and custom ordering at 299 Covered Bridge Road, Orangeville, and through monthly and quarterly buying-club drop points at House of Nutrition (Luzerne, PA), Wegmans King of Prussia, and the Paoli Shopping Center. A small delivery fee of $0.25/lb applies at buying-club pickups.

No shipping is offered; all options are in-person pickup. No third-party grass-fed certification is listed on the site.
