General Info

About Griggstown In 1975, George Rude began raising a handful of quail on two acres of a farm located in the historic village of Griggstown in Princeton, N.J. At that time the property was owned by Peter Josten. By the time George Rude purchased the land from Josten in 1992, the Griggstown Quail Farm had grown to over 65 acres raising pheasants, quail, chickens and, when in season, Mallard and Muscovy ducks, turkeys, and partridge. All the birds were all natural (free of growth hormones and antibiotics) and cage free without overcrowding, a standard George Rude keeps to this day. The farm is proud to raise all natural free range heritage breed turkeys, which are the closest breed to the turkeys that the Pilgrims ate. We also raise free range traditional white turkeys and free range pheasants, which are available in the store from October until March. We sell most of the turkeys during Thanksgiving; make sure to place your order early since we sell out each year! The farm houses a USDA processing plant which processes poultry five days a week. Deliveries to distributors and restaurants are made everyday. The farm sits just off Bunkerhill Road in Griggstown and passers by often see horses peacefully grazing in the fields of the Griggstown Farm. A Bit of History The Griggstown Farm Market is located on the Farm. We opened in 2002 in order to make our natural farm-raised poultry and game available to local consumers. For the first time since George Rude started the farm in 1975, we started selling fresh and frozen poultry along with select produce grown on the Farm. In 2004, we added a USDA-certified kitchen area which made it possible for us to offer high-quality prepared foods in the market, including roasted chickens and farm fresh pot pies, the Market?s biggest sellers. The Market Today: Today the Griggstown Farm Market sells many items including seasonal Fruit pies, Chicken, Turkey, Beef, and Vegetarian Pot Pies, Shepherd?s Pie, Poultry Sausages, and fresh seasonal Soups, Chili, and Sauces. All of these products are prepared in our USDA kitchen at the Farm. Specialty items can also be found in the Market along with fresh poultry, game and quail eggs direct from the Farm. In addition to the Market?s year-round products, extensive Thanksgiving and holiday menus are offered to complement the Farm-raised turkeys sold during November & December. These menus are available seasonally in the Market and on the website and all products can be ordered by phone or in person. The Market also offers fruit pies and pot pies at wholesale pricing to non-profit organizations such as schools, churches, athletic teams, and other organizations for their fundraising efforts.
