From Our Family To Yours
Bell & Walhalla is a family farm partnership between Bellinger Family Farm & Walhalla Farm. Both began as dairy farms in the 40’s. When the dairy market crashed in the late 70’s, both farms went out of business and began to fall into disrepair. As neighbors, Todd Bell & Basil Kreimendahl have worked together and continue to restore both farms.
The Bellinger Family Farm has been in Todd’s family for generations. Currently, the farm grows mostly organic hay on over 200 acres that have never been sprayed. As our livestock grows, The Bellinger Family Farm will provide our up-and-coming meat share. Our animals are happy and stress free. We do not dehorn or brand our animals, and they graze freely on the organic pastures at Bellinger Farm.
All of our animals are finished on either grass, apples, acorns and/or organic grains. Our USDA processing facility is local, only 2 miles down the road. So our animals do not travel very far, which keeps stress low. Our livestock meat is packaged and flash frozen at our USDA inspected processing facility. This keeps our product fresh, and gives our members flexibility on how and when they enjoy our product.
Walhalla Farm grows our organic vegetable, muchrooms, fruit, eggs and poultry shares. Basil Kreimendahl and Jackson Charboneau run Walhalla Farm. With an eye towards the future of sustainable agriculture, they’re building a diverse small farm that can provide clean healthy food for generations to come.
Basil and his wife work both in Brooklyn and at Walhalla. He has two kids who attend PS130. Walhalla Farm is invested in the health and future of our local and our Brooklyn community
