The best farms
- 1Baird FarmMeat · Chittenden5 (1163 reviews)Baird Farm is a family farm in North Chittenden, Vermont, best known for its organic maple syrup and now also a source of grass fed beef. The cattle belong to Jamie Hamilton of Hamilton Cattle Company, a neighbour and friend of the family, and the herd grazes the farm's fields from late April to December before wintering on hay.
The farm store sells individual beef cuts, from steaks and flat irons to ground beef and stew meat, alongside the maple range, while Jamie takes orders for discounted bulk beef boxes by phone or email. The store is open every day except Tuesday, and farm tours can be booked by appointment.
- 2North Meadow FarmMeat & eggs · Manchester4.9 (352 reviews)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.
- 3Taylor FarmFarm shop · Londonderry4.7 (194 reviews)Taylor Farm is a working farm in the Green Mountains at Londonderry, Vermont, first started in 1840 and owned and operated by Jon Wright and his family since 1989. From 1998 to 2018 the farm made award winning Gouda; production has ceased, and the farm store now carries one of the best selections of Vermont cheeses from other small dairy farms, alongside maple syrup, preserves, meats, baked goods, ice cream, honey and local crafts.
The farm remains home to a mixed herd of Jersey, Brown Swiss and Ridgeback cows plus goats, chickens, ducks, draft horses, a donkey and a Scottish Highlander named Skippy, all friendly and easy for visitors to meet. Horse drawn sleigh rides run in winter and wagon rides all year, booked by phone, with a fire and warming hut stop along the trail. Raw milk directories list the farm as a raw cow milk source, though its own site does not mention milk sales.

Four Corners FarmFruit & veg · Newbury4.8 (162 reviews)Four Corners Farm is an extremely diversified family farm in the Connecticut Valley at Newbury, in northeast Vermont. Fifty acres of fruit and vegetables run from asparagus, leaf greens and strawberries through sweet corn, tomatoes, melons and winter squash to gourmet herbs, alongside a small herd of Jersey milk cows and Scottish Highland beef cattle. The farm's promise is simple and repeated across its site: all we sell is our own, we sell only what we grow.
The farm stand is open every day, with hours that follow the season, and the produce list changes as the growing year turns: strawberries and asparagus early, corn, tomatoes and melons in high summer, squash and brassicas into autumn, with farm fresh milk alongside. The family describes taking great pride in producing the very highest quality fruits and vegetables possible while taking care of the land that is taking care of them. - 5
Cedar Circle Farm & Education CenterFruit & veg · Thetford4.8 (126 reviews)Cedar Circle Farm and Education Center is a nonprofit organic farm on conserved land along the Connecticut River in East Thetford, Vermont.

The farm works regeneratively: cover cropping, crop rotation, reduced tillage, and pest control with beneficial insects rather than synthetic sprays.
The farm is a community hub as much as a growing operation. A farmstand and the Hello Cafe sit beside retail greenhouses, a commercial kitchen and a pick your own flower garden, with pick your own strawberries, blueberries and pumpkins through the season. A CSA runs alongside summer camps, farm tours, workshops and a teen farm fellowship, and the farm carries out agricultural research in the public interest. The farmstand is open daily from May to early November, with a reduced schedule to late December. - 6
The Roots Farm MarketFruit & veg · Middlesex4.7 (105 reviews)The Roots Farm Market sits on US Route 2 at Middlesex, Vermont, and it is farmer owned and operated. Karin Bellemare and Jon Wagner own it together, and the two also own Bear Roots Farm in Williamstown, Vermont, which grows year round vegetables on 20 acres and is certified organic by Vermont Organic Farmers. Karin manages the market and Jon manages the farm, and the two businesses work closely together through the year. They opened the market in 2019 because they wanted a year round shop, open seven days a week, rather than carrying vegetables back and forth to the farmers market.
The farm supplies organic vegetables to the store all year, and alongside its own produce the market carries goods from other Vermont growers, farmers, makers, artists and bakers. The shelves follow the season: seeds, soil mixes, vegetable starts, compost, flowers, hanging baskets, fruit trees and berry bushes in spring, local produce through the summer, a large display of farm pumpkins, winter squash, mums and fall perennials at harvest, then Vermont grown Christmas trees and wreaths made at the farm in winter. An on site kitchen opened in 2021 and serves grab and go food all year, using as much of the farm grown produce as possible and seeking out organic sources for the rest, including the breakfast burritos and breakfast sandwiches it is known for locally. - 7

What visitors say
I haven’t had VT maple syrup in years and immediately I opened the syrup to taste it and felt “at home.” Thank you! Definitely have a returning customer.

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.

This is such a treat! It would be so good for kids but even with adults it was a fun stop to get out and walk around and enjoy being with the animals!
