EMPTY POCKETS RANCH NY

Empty Pockets Ranch NY is a veteran owned homestead in beautiful Schoharie County, to be more precise, Sharon Springs. Our mission is to give all people the knowledge and ability to purchase food as it was intended to be, raw and unprocessed. With this knowledge we hope that people will be more cautious of the food they intend to buy.

"WE ARE MORE THAN JUST EGGS"

Ever really question where your food comes from? I never did either, I admit it. I always just assumed that if it was on the shelf at the store, it must be safe right? I really had no direct connection with agriculture until about five years ago. I watched "Food Inc." and was horrified at what I was watching. This inspired me to start an investigation, which led me to the path we are on now, to live as healthy and as sustainably as possible.
We started out with two dairy goats and a handful of chickens. Currently, we have seventy- five free range hens, six roosters, three Guinea hens, five East Friesian dairy sheep, and a Tunis ram named Bimbo. It seems like everyday something new is being learned about agriculture and how to really know about the origins of our food, and whether it is really safe or not.

During our off season we started to create homemade soap bars, body scrubs, body butter, lip balms & even cleaning products. What started as a desire to live more naturally has turned into a mission, to educate as many people as we possibly can about the benefits of living as naturally as possible.
