Go Regenerative!
August 10, 2021 – 4:10 pm
Was it an echo from the barnyard? Yesterday we walked the turkeys… (not to Boston!) to the paddock adjacent to the barn… No, these turkeys appeared to be the wake-up committee, scattered about the barnyard & entire hill pasture, vocalizing awfully close to bedroom windows of our farmhouse, the barn guesthouse and Laura’s folks home! […]

Summer Farm Views
July 27, 2021 – 2:29 pm
Summer is in full swing….. And with the recent rain, it seems the farmers and the plants & animals are breathing a little sigh of relief (and growing!). The growing season is that crazy time where there never seems to be enough hours in the day, but the lushness of our fields & forests is […]

Welcome Dosa!
November 15, 2020 – 5:58 pm
As we approach Thanksgiving, we offer gratitude far and wide to all who enable this small farm to keep producing. This year, as we look towards the traditional Thanksgiving centerpiece of a Turkey, we welcome to the farm their new protector. Two years ago, when we hosted members of the Tri-State area’s R.A.T.S group, they […]
Walking the Turkeys
July 23, 2020 – 7:54 am
Fortunately, we don’t have to walk them to Boston in the Fall, like they did once upon a time from Vermont. We just walk them from one part of the pasture to another. This past weekend, they paraded a bit further than usual to get to some lovely eating and good shade! Enjoy this up […]

Getting Turkeys to Boston…or not
September 12, 2016 – 2:25 pm
Abundant harvests of this warm early fall are bringing glorious orange, reds, yellows and greens to the farmstand, foreshadowing Vermont’s famous foliage! Remembering that vibrancy and intensity of color, like taste, are indicators of nutrient density, we are thrilled not only to offer these delicacies to our community but also to have such spectacular indicators […]

Tangible Magic

The current issue of Edible Green Mountains is out and there is a piece on our farm. We are thrilled and grateful for such wonderful publications dedicated to local food in Vermont. It has been nice to have that positive new piece as we have […]
Predators Strike!
October 10, 2012 – 8:26 am
We struggle to keep our animals comfortable and thriving. They grow well. It is humane and just. But every once in a while our systems and efforts fail and the safety of our livestock is breached, to serve the comfort and thriving populations of wild animals who neighbor and share the farm. Sunday chores for […]
