Vermont Farm // A new beginning

The beauty of this land is breathtaking. Pristine mountains shelter the valley on the west, and the mighty Connecticut River flows to the east. We’ve managed to clear another 25 acres of land this past tree season, so there will be more land to put into cover crop in anticipation of the vegetable production to come in 2024. Our days are filled with plans for greenhouses and a new wash/pack barn. It’s been 29 years since we started farming, but it’s never been on our own land and we’ve never had the chance to build infrastructure that truly fits our needs. It’s no wonder that we’re agonizing over the correct design of the floor drainage system, the detailing of the frost wall and the new greenhouse plastic snow loads. We want to get this right.
