Our family's former dairy farm is now locally famous for Harold Harvey's Thanksgiving turkeys.
In addition, I raise broiler chickens during the summer, and sell eggs year round. We have Christmas trees for those who like a nice walk in the woods -- and need a large tree!
As well, Maple Wind Farm grazes beef here, and and also raises vegetables for their CSA (Beth Whiting and Bruce Hennesey; home farm is in Huntington).
The farm itself is interesting as an example of Vermont agriculture from early days to present, with many artifacts and structures dating back in history, some still in use. Our poultry growing/processing area is state of the art. The barn itself is fascinating architecture.
The farm is located a mile East of Richmond village, on Route 2. We are open Thanksgiving week for turkey pickups, and by appointment for chicken and eggs. Call 434-2783 (barn number) to order.
