The way this program works starts with you the hunter, land owner or farmer harvests a legal deer. Each deer must be properly taged and field dressed, bring it to us ASAP.   We will give you a CNY Food Bank receipt for your taxes (check with  your tax accountant for details) when you drop the deer off. This program is open all year long to property owners and farmers with DEC nuisance permits.  All donated deer must be legally tagged when brought to us for processing.

     We will skin and debone the deer, grind it into fresh ground meat.  It's then package in 5# meat tubes and frozen till the CNY food bank picks it up for re-distributation to food pantries and soup kitchens in the CNY area.

     Marsh Mill Ranch is proud to support the Venison Donation Program. Help feed families in the CNY area this year, HUNT-HARVEST-DONATE you deer this year.  All donations are feeding many families, thanks to you and our hunting friends and family.
