About the farm
Flack Family Farm is a diversified organic farm in Fairfield, Vermont raising 100% grass fed cattle and sheep and making traditional lacto fermented vegetables.
Flack Family Farm is a small diversified organic farm on Duffy Hill Road in Fairfield, Vermont, carrying on a farm that Doug and Barbara Flack started in 1978. Julie and Zach took over in 2023 and raise 100% grass fed American Milking Devon cattle and Icelandic sheep alongside organic vegetable plots that rotate through the pastures the animals have grazed, so the grazing builds the soil that grows the crops. Cabbage, carrots, onions, daikon, garlic and potatoes come off that ground and are fermented each autumn with nothing but salt and no vinegar, into the sauerkraut, kimchi and cultured raw vegetables that sit in the chiller cabinets of natural grocers across northern and central Vermont.
The ferments reach people on those shop shelves rather than over a farm counter, and the farm does not sell individual cuts of meat. Beef, lamb and mutton are sold as a whole or part animal for on farm slaughter, arranged by email, and naturally tanned sheepskins from the farm's own Icelandic flock are bought the same way, with shipping available. The best way to see the place is to join one of the summer cabbage planting days or the autumn production days. The Devon herd is not being milked at the moment, though Julie and Zach say they hope to bring milking back.
Julie
Farmer
Julie came to Vermont from her native Louisiana for the mountains, lakes and seasons, and found Flack Family Farm after deciding to eat meat again and wanting to meet cows that had horns and tails. She took the farm on with Zach in 2023, loves her time with the cows, sheep and carrots, and cooks lunch for the crew through the autumn kraut production.
