Lisa has such a wonderful story - she loves all of the animals here and can tell she cares about each one. This farm supports rescued alpaca, donkeys, ducks, chicken, rabbits and more! Come to pet the goats and sheep ($12) and check out the farm fresh food.
Visited last year with my grandson and granddaughter who were delighted by the baby and momma pigs, ducks, sheep, cows, hens, roosters, bunnies, and other farm animals. Expensive entrance fees.
Spent two nights in Manchester and was happy to find this far. It’s a fun place to stop in & pet some animals! Dillon was a great guide - my friend and I enjoyed our tour, petting, and feeding the animals. Alpacas are always a fav. Pigs, goats, chickens, donkeys, ducks, and cows were cute as well.

North Meadow Farm is a small dairy farm in Manchester Center, Vermont, an old property brought back to life and now run as a working farm with a year round farm store. Alongside the dairy herd there is a petting farm with cows, pigs, rabbits, goats and fowl for families to visit.
The farm store sells cheese and squeaky fresh cheese curds made from the farm's own milk, Swiss style farmhouse yogurt, eggs laid daily, and beef and pork raised on the farm. Local partners fill the rest of the shelves with honey, maple syrup, salsa, soaps and goat milk lotion. It is open daily from 6am to 8pm.

Fantastic experience - warm, welcoming, hands-on - up close and personal experience directly in the pens with goats, rabbits, alpacas - feeding chickens, ducks, donkeys. A very personal experience with wonderful stories about the farm and animals.
Went to North Meadow Farm today and had an amazing experience with my family. Our tour guide and her daughter were so kind and knowledgeable about all of the farm animals and went above and beyond to make our experience one to remember! We checked out the farm store at the end, which has a wide selection of food, skincare, drinks, and a variety of ice cream flavors plus much more. I highly recommend visiting this farm!
Great little working farm to visit! Lisa was so nice and helpful, as was everyone we met. When we arrived all the farm hands were out cutting hay & no one was available to give us an official tour, but since we had older (teen) respectful kids, Lisa just told us their "do's and don'ts" and let us walk around and visit/pet the animals. We loved the baby bunnies and Tiramisu, the world's friendliest sheep - he'll follow you around like a puppy and lean on you if he's not getting enough attention! We had a great, relaxing time, and enjoyed some fresh cheese curds and ice cream! They also have cheese, maple syrup, fresh yogurt, raw milk, eggs, raw honey, and some other farm products for sale. Animals included cows, donkeys, pigs, sheep, goats, chickens, ducks, a turkey, rabbits, alpaca. Amenities include a few picnic tables and a restroom with a baby changing table. There was also some nice play equipment for little kids, and several families with little ones showed up and were having fun, too.
This farm is an absolute gem. My family and I had such a special afternoon receiving a guided tour from Lisa. We saw alpacas, bunnies, goats, donkeys, pigs, chickens, roosters, ducks, a sheep, and many types of cows (including Scottish highlands, Holsteins, Jerseys, and a couple other breeds)! Some highlights: holding the sweetest duckling that was only 6 days old, petting bunnies from recent litters and only 4 weeks and 6 weeks old, becoming pals with a friendly (yet stubborn) alpaca named Quinn, getting nibbled on by some goats, and catching the end of a dairy cow milking session. Lisa is full of stories about each of the animals, and it is evident that the staff at North Meadow loves their animals and makes a great effort to learn and instruct their staff exactly how to treat each one properly in order to keep them healthy and happy. Lisa answered all of our questions and was very patient and kind to our little one. Final note: highly encourage anyone in the area to stop by the store before leaving. We enjoyed the milk and ice cream, but the fresh yogurt, granola, and eggs also looked great. Thank you North Meadows, we’ll be back!
We decided to make a quick visit to the farm off of the recommendation from the innkeeper where we stayed. Lisa gave us a personal tour of all the sweet animals on the farm. We really appreciated her hospitality and willingness to share stories and answer questions. They also have a sweet farm store with lots of homemade goods. Definitely worth a visit!
Our visit to North Meadow Farm on 5/27/2026 was the best experience! Dave Johnson spend over 2 hours showing us around (all 9 of us - 5 adults and 4 children from Connecticut) despite the fact that we didn’t know that they don’t normally do tours on Wednesdays. He ended up NOT turning us away, but he took us to see the ALL of animals on the farm, and didn’t seem to mind that we took up so much of his time! He answered every question the kids and adults asked. We were able to interact with many of farms residents! I highly recommend this farm, He provided such great information for the little ones to be able to be interact with the smallest baby bunnies to the largest steer. It was great and we all have a fantastic day - Thank you very much and hope to get back there again!
