Links to Farms, Horse Sites, Organic Farming Info

Welcome to Coach Stop Farm's Links page!

Here are some links to horse sites and organic/natural meat products, and recipes you may find interesting. I'll add more as they come to my attention, so if you have any you'd like to submit, send me an e-mail. Maybe we can cross-link if you have a site that fits into these categories. Please note that I will not link to major catalogs of horse supplies. They have a marketing budget and don't need my link. I will link to people who have a single product or product line, sort of a mom-and-pop operation, artists, etc. who are selling their products and creative work directly.
