Maple Grove Farm

laying hens on pasture

Local food and farmers are alive and well in the Champlain Valley.  Our children are now the 4th generation to live and work here on our farm, which has been in the same family for 89 years. We raise pastured poultry, sheep and heritage breed pigs. Our garden is always expanding.  This year the new high tunnel will allow us to grow later into the season and to begin next year's growing season earlier. Our farm stand has been expanded to a small store with local products. The difference we see for ourselves has led us to open to the general public.

We are located on Route 22, between historic Ticonderoga and Whitehall on the southwest shore of Lake Champlain. These beautiful rolling hills are ideally suited for farming.  Over the past 10 years our local traditional grocery stores have been pushed out of business. The big box alternative is not real food and we don't believe that it allows us to "live better."  Luckily, this situation led our family to look for real food.  We have raised sheep and angora goats for nearly 20 years and over the past few years have added pastured poultry and heritage breed tamworth pigs.  Our pork and lamb are processed at local USDA facilities while we process our chickens on the farm.  Come visit our farm store.

Meats and eggs are available year round.  Vegetables will start in June.  In addition at the farm we have locally produced honey, maple syrup, and peanut butter.  Please call ahead to be sure we are home.

Spinning Fiber and Animals for Sale:

Each spring we shear the sheep and clip the llamas.  The sheep include shetlands, tunis, texel and some dorset and suffolk and the myraid of crosses those can give. 
This spring's fleeces included creams, tans and a variety of browns.  The shetland wool is nice for next-to-the skin knitted goods and the texel wool is especially spongy and makes a nice batting for blankets and quilts.  Our raw fleeces are available for handspinning and other fiber pursuits.  We sell them from the farm and on Ebay.  We still have some of the spring clip available as of mid-May.  Let us know what you are looking for.  We also do sell a limited number of sheep each year, these are sold out for 2010 at this time.
