Family owned grass-fed beef and maple farm since 1810
East Montpelier, VT
our Mission
Our 150-acre farm located in East Montpelier, Vermont has been operation since 1810. It is our family’s mission to work this land through regenerative agricultural practices to produce healthy, local products for our community. Through rotational grazing, our beef cattle are grass-fed and humanely raised in pastures. With our 4,000 taps, this farm produces nearly 2,000 gallons of maple syrup each season. Whether we are boiling sap or hosting a burger night event, we take pride in bringing together our 7th, 8th, and 9th generations of family and friends through farming.
