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.
