Stories from the Farm
Earth Day Eating!
April 23, 2014 – 2:05 pm
Five pigs, Roxy, Jinx, Spike, Max & Duke, named after the Dig Dogs Dig books, were taken to Royal Butcher, resupplying the freezer for our collective insatiable bacon habit! All this made way for the goat kids to have full romping room in the loafing area. A splash of Spring break guests for tours and farm […]
Community Support!
April 16, 2014 – 3:12 pm
Saturday’s forecast seemed perfect to operate on the hoophouse. The ridge vent has had some chronic leaking problems, due to being pulled out of alignment by the fan-fed air bubble. Team Rimol had advised we add stabilizers to each bow instead of the normally directed every other. Mike and Andrew spied the break in the […]
Organic Meetings
April 9, 2014 – 8:10 pm
We were thrilled to host the NOFA VT(Northeast Organic Food Association) board of directors meeting this week. We know the convenience of our central location is a key decision factor for groups hosting state-wide meetings. We feel lucky to serve such great organizations. And it is as fun to have the farm feed good work […]
View from a Visitor’s Eyes
April 2, 2014 – 6:58 pm
It is always interesting to see something through someone else’s perspective. The past several days we have gotten to see the farm through a visitor’s eyes — a visitor on her 4th trip to the farm, though the first with snow on the ground. Enjoy some of Abby’s photos and comments about the farm. “3-4 […]
Eyes on the Sky
March 26, 2014 – 8:57 pm
Late moon rises combined with the clearest and crispest of nights made it hard not to notice the sky earlier this week. And last week it was the full moon which drew our attention. Humbling and beautiful stuff! But different than farmers of old and indigenous people everywhere, when it comes to planning our activities […]

Scientists have known for a long time that the majestic Himalayas have a dramatic impact on local weather patterns in Asia, but the latest research shows the impact is global in scale, and may even have precipitated the beginning of the ice age 2.5 million years ago. Somehow fitting that Annapurna, one of the Himalyan […]
A=RKLSCP and Other Farm Products
March 5, 2014 – 2:55 pm
In the coming weeks the rhythm on the farm will change as kidding and planting ramp up. We are looking forward to the joys that the growing season brings but are also feeling the pinch of its oncoming tide; soon our days will be full of “farm work” and the time for planning and analysis […]
