Flack Family Farm
Fairfield · Butcher, fruit & veg5.0 · 6 reviewsFlack 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.
Ghost Dog Dairy
Hardwick · Butcher, fruit & veg4.4 · 7 reviewsGhost Dog Dairy is a family owned farm in Hardwick, in the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont, run by a military family who made the move into full time farming. The herd began as registered American Alpines and has been crossed with Saanens since 2017, and the goats browse and graze outdoors through the grazing season on the farm's own certified organic hay, pasture, herbs and garlic. Kids are dam raised by their own mothers. The farm runs its own micro dairy, where the milk is fermented, processed and bottled on site as Farm Dog Formula, a lightly fermented raw goats milk tonic for dogs and cats rather than a drinking milk. The same herbal pastures are rotated into garlic beds, where the farm grows a porcelain hardneck variety called Music that is certified organic by Vermont Organic Farmers, packed by the pound and posted out. The garlic earns its keep twice over, because it is also used against parasite cycles in the herd instead of chemical treatments, and the June scapes go into the sausages. Pigs root and graze rotationally through open fields and the hedges around the farm's native apple trees, fed fresh goats milk and apples, and they turn thick sod into new garlic beds and hayfields as they go. The farm store sells goat meat, garlic scape goat sausages, pasture raised pork shares and small batch goat milk soap made with the farm's own milk.
Union Brook Farm
Northfield · Butcher, eggs5.0 · 4 reviewsUnion Brook Farm raises cattle, pigs and poultry entirely on pasture in Northfield, Vermont.
