John saved us an article from the USA Today Money section of the Burlington Free Press, “Why Veggies aren’t as Nutritious Anymore,” noting it talked about our approach to farming as the solution! Thanks to USA TODAY and the journalists from the Cincinnati Enquirer for helping shoppers and eaters understand the differences in the conventional […]

Introducing the Summer Piglets
July 9, 2018 – 6:17 pm
So there are 20 piglets exploring, digging, snoozing, grazing, begging their sows and learning about belly rubs on the farm. Lassie, Toto & Tiggles all delivered piglets within 10 days of each other so we now have one big crew of 20 piglets and their 3 sows. They will be accepting visits from Farmstand shoppers […]

A Week of Arrivals
June 14, 2018 – 9:53 am
Arrivals has been our theme this week…and the week isn’t out yet! It started with our first load of lovely hay… a nice full trailer on Sunday afternoon. Always a moment of joy and “Oh, unloading that is now on the to do list?!!”. Thanks Walt, it is lovely. Followed by the first of three […]

Green Mountain Girls = Food Revolution
May 2, 2018 – 2:49 pm
It is the inspiration of our name, certainly. The new commercial and video (also above) about the farm from Guy’s Farm & Yard (produced by Mt. Mansfield Media) explains our name quite nicely and we love that. We know it is sometimes confusing. Does our name refer to the owners, the leaders in the pasture […]

We have arrived at that season when local salad greens are no longer a rare, special treat in these cold climates which of course coincides with the weather warming such that one wants to eat lots of lush, fun salads. Here on the farm, all of the beings love this season. The farmers get salad […]
Thanks be to the Sugar Makers

That is to the Maple Sugar Makers. Sugaring season is sometimes short, sometimes long, always weather dependent and such a clear marker of the transition between Winter and Spring. We are both thankful to not have good maples on our property to tap and for all those near us that do! […]
