August 21, 2013 – 10:45 am
Here at Green Mountain Girls Farm we love our tomatoes – and we hope you will too! We are growing more than 10 varieties this year, each with their own delicious qualities suited to different uses and preferences, and we’d love to introduce you.

Canning has Begun
August 14, 2013 – 11:23 am
August is here, which means abundance! It also means working with that abundance to ensure plenty of delicious food throughout the fall and winter. Food preservation has begun in earnest and with a splash. We are happy to have itinerant pickler, Jaska Bradeen, from Sheep and Pickle Farm back with us a few days a […]
Chicken(s)
August 7, 2013 – 2:17 pm
On Tuesdsay we said goodbye to the first of this season’s roasting chickens. Most of the team had participated in homestead-scale chicken processing before but, even so, we were in largely new territory and slaughter always brings up a lot of Big Questions. Our process is designed to be as clean, efficient, and dignified as […]

Poetry from the Farm
July 23, 2013 – 3:31 pm
Last week we had an anonymous in-house haiku contest. There were some thoughtful and pastoral submissions as well as some humorous ones. In the end, because we are such team players here, everyone who submitted (and who tolerated or participated in our lunchtime dramatic readings) was rewarded handsomely. The following is a selection of the […]
Monsooning
July 10, 2013 – 3:14 pm
It wasn’t thunder that woke us. Just a deluge. Our minds wandered over our undulating landscape picturing where the young pigs, poultry and goats were moved today, remembering who has which shelter, confirming if there is anything that needs to be done besides worrying for everyone downhill. It persisted (in the end for more […]
Sharing the Farm Experience
June 26, 2013 – 1:49 pm
This week, an Associated Press reporter captured well our small farm’s effort at not only producing sustainable, high quality food, but also providing related hands-on farm experiences, as both a way to offer people a deeper understanding of how their food can be raised and as a way to make a small farm viable.
