Welcome to Willow-Marsh Farm & Farm Store in Ballston Spa, NY!
Willow-Marsh is a 5th-generation diversified family farm dedicated to raising beef, veal, pork, and dairy cows using sustainable, regenerative, and chemical-free farming practices that prioritize soil health, animal welfare, and the long-term vitality of our land.
Our approach to farming is rooted in stewardship. We focus on producing nutrient-dense, responsibly raised, healthy food while caring for the ecosystems that support both our animals and our community. While our own raw milk and farmstead dairy products are currently on pause, we look forward to offering them again once our on-site creamery is complete.
Right now, we are working to bring raw milk back to Willow-Marsh Farm. We are offering 12-week raw milk subscriptions in the farm store with the goal of having fresh, farm-bottled raw milk back on our shelves this May. Your subscription helps demonstrate community support for locally produced, regenerative dairy and moves us one step closer to restoring this important part of our farm.
In the meantime, we proudly carry Battenkill Valley Creamery’s cream top milk, whole milk, 2% milk, heavy cream, chocolate milk, eggnog, and ice creams. We also continue to raise high-quality, pasture-supported beef and veal right here on our farm.
Seasonally, we offer compost each spring and cornstalks, pumpkins, and hay bales in the fall. Year-round, you will find local staples such as Bertha’s Bees honey and Wild Hill Maple Farm's award-winning maple syrup, maple sugar, maple cream & candies.
Our farm store is also home to over 65 local small businesses including bakers, makers, artisans, and fellow farms who share our commitment to clean, thoughtfully produced food and sustainable agriculture.
Explore shelves filled with handmade cards, matching apron sets, granola, baked goods, and loose-leaf teas from Old Wisdom Wellness. We also carry pickles, apple butter, Bloody Mary mix and a variety of hot sauces from Morning Pine Acres Farm, spice blends, Saratoga Peanut Butters, candles from Little Norwegian Candle Company, Charlton Artisanal soaps, bath bombs, whipped tallow face cream, & more, Downstate Roasters Coffee, frozen soups and pizzas from 9 Miles East Farm, mini pies and tea breads from Mourningkill Farm & Bakeshop, and much more.
​
From ice cream to sourdough, children’s books to handmade jewelry, we offer a rotating collection of quality, handcrafted items. Whether you're searching for the perfect gift or something special for yourself, we invite you to stop in and explore!

Customer Reviews
"As I was taking inventory this morning, a customer took 3 containers and was raving at how good your Greek yogurt is. He even did a taste comparison with store brands to be sure! Nothing like real food." ~Ian, Farm Manager, Pitney Meadows Community Farm 10/29/23

I LOVE this place. They have the best raw milk. They make such good yogurt too. And the people working there are just fantastic. A surprising amount of variety in what they sell as well as they carry goods being dairy from other local producers. Hand crafted soaps, organic honey, coffee, maple syrup and more. Big fan. I make sure to stop by when I'm in town. If you are looking for the best raw milk in the area, look no further. ~Tony, recent Google Review​

What We Do, We Do For YOU
At Willow-Marsh Farm, we believe that healthy, wholesome food supports a strong immune system and provides the building blocks for strong bones, muscle development, and healing. That’s why we focus on raising our animals with care and intention.
​
Our dairy cows are fed non-GMO crops grown right here on the farm, and we manage weeds through cultivation rather than spraying harmful chemicals. Our cattle are not vaccinated, and we prioritize natural herd health practices. The beef cattle graze freely across three rotating pastures, supporting both their well-being and the regeneration of our land. We use certified organic grain only when needed—nutritionally supporting our dairy cows during milk production and helping our beef cattle thrive through the long, cold winters of upstate New York. Our veal calves are raised humanely in a large, open, covered outdoor shed with plenty of space, fresh air, and natural light.
​
What We Don’t Do:
We do not use growth hormones, antibiotics, or grain-finishing. We don’t feed our animals natural alternatives like live yeast, direct-fed probiotics, enzymes, or essential-oil blends. Our approach is rooted in simplicity, integrity, and trust in the natural health of the animal when raised in a low-stress, pasture-based environment. We’re committed to sustainable, transparent practices that prioritize animal welfare, soil health, and nutrient-dense food for our community.
