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.

The best sauerkraut and kimchi I’ve ever tasted. Thanks for creating amazing fermented products!
Highly recommended. I ordered fresh Solomon's Seal root via email. They have excellent customer service, great communication, fast shipping. The roots were packaged great and arrived in perfect shape. Will order again.
Best organic kimchi ever!
The BEST food there is.
I have had the privilege to spend many hours on the Flack Farm, helping with the fermentation side of things. I have also purchased milk from them many times. I cannot say enough good things about the products, and the people behind them. A first-rate operation, highly recommended!
Bought my first bottle of Flack Family kimchi a couple weeks ago. In a word, ABSOLUTELY POSITIVELY SPLENDID! OK, three words. Perhaps my Vermont palate requires more exposure to Korean cuisine, but I loved this recipe and flavor. Perfect balance of tang, tingle, heat, and flavor. Sublime!
