Bolinger Family Farm
Bolinger Family Farm is an 80 acre farm located 1.5 miles north of North Manchester. The farm has been in the family for over 50 years and currently is focused on raising livestock to feed our family and our local community. Our primary retail product is beef, but we also have lamb, pork, eggs, and maple syrup.
We raise primarily purebred shorthorn cattle as well as shorthorn influenced British crosses. Our cattle are rotationally grazed throughout the growing season to promote improved soil qualities as well as improved vegetation. We raise Cheviot sheep which are a multiuse breed used for both wool and meat production. They are grazed in a similar manner to our cattle. Our young, weaned pigs are sourced locally and finished on our farm. Our free-range chickens produce varying shades of brown eggs. Maple sap is collected from trees on our farm and then boiled into syrup at a local producer's farm.
We are currently utilizing the EQUIP program so if anyone has questions regarding using the program for their own farm, we are happy to share our experience!
