PROSPECT FARM


We are not your average farmers - if you could even call us that yet.

For some time it has been our goal to live sustainably off the land and now we are going for it! Our intention is to move towards having a household of production, not consumption through starting a multi-generation family farm providing organic vegetables, rustic breads and goat dairy for the local community. Our hope is to someday have our Vermont farm not only be a place to find quality local whole foods, but a community meeting ground to serve as an outlet for wellness, education and leisure for our neighbors.

Although we met in college, we both coincidentally grew up in the same New Hampshire area. Our studies originally focused on art and literature, which today are still huge influences to us, but we were looking for a change. Together we travelled throughout the country and have lived on both coasts, including a big city and an island in Maine. Through our experiences, we learned that we work the best as a partnership day in and day out and that our college studies are not what define us. What is most important to us is the way good “slow” food unites the ones we love.

Through this blog we hope to not only keep a log for ourselves, but also be able to share our stories and thoughts as we embark on this wild journey!

Eggcellent


It seems like an eternity since our first batch of chicks arrived in the mail. We now finally we have eggs, tiny tiny eggs, but eggs never the less.  The first eggs found themselves on one of Lane's homemade pizzas which was rich and delicious.  At first we noticed one a day and now we are up to finding two every morning. We like to think that their cozy new home and ability to forage the land encouraged productivity. 
Thanksgiving Deep Fry with friends!
Chicken we raised and Meryl's spicy pickles.

Traditional Thanksgiving meal.
Chicken we raised, potatoes and squash from garden. Pumpkin Custard and Cranberry Sauce;
 ingredients from Lunenburg.  Lane's bread and so much more!
A gratifying meal for us all after the first summer on the farm.
