Mud City Farm is 180 acres in the Sterling Range’s eastern foothills.




Here at Mud City Farm, our goal is to make it easy for our neighbors to be a part of the farm.  We want to connect the community to the food it eats and provide beautiful flowers for us all!

We believe in working hard and playing hard.  We believe in tasty, healthy food and it bringing people together. 

 

There are now over 4 acres in perennial and annual field production here on Mud City Farm. 

We focus on diverse veggies, herbs, berries, and flowers. 

The history of the Vermont working landscape is very rich.

The farm was formerly owned by the oh-so-amazing Lepine family whose stories are too much to be told here.  If you are interested in agricultural heritage of Vermont, please look them up. We had the great pleasure of spending some time with them and deeply value the firsthand story telling from one-of-a-kind women.  Much honor is held in the maintenance and enhancement of this particular agricultural settlement that we now call home.

 

Being familiar with these stories and legends deepens the connection to the farm. 

When moving about the pastures and meadows, and the woodlots and the river edge, one can see the evidence of love and labor of former times.  And with this evidence, there is still the enchantment of change and mystery.  

A small farm is a dynamic place;
very stimulating and multi-faceted.

Farming is a lifestyle immersed in horticulture, botany, ecology, husbandry, machinery, mathematics, accounting, weight lifting, endurance. 

It is science and art. It is failure and success. Farming is nuance and detail and it is also foreseeing the future. It’s loud, and quiet, calming and tense. Farming is serious and also hilarious. It can be very fast and so slow.  It is controlled and wild. It’s amongst and between all these polarities that keeps life interesting and us working hard; striving for some sense of equilibrium.  We believe all of these sentiments and facets are culminated in each individual fruit, leaf and blossom. And this is why we farm; for diversity and an engaging, biodynamic existence. For the growth, development and care of so many elements. It connects us to our earth and all the critters among it from mycelium and microbes to the trout and the coyotes and the crows, and to our friends, family and customers. 

Farming is a lifetime. 

And not just ours but those that are yet to come and those that have been. 

Farming is heritage and it is evolution.

Products are sold through our CSA, wholesale to local restaurants, delis, caterers, grocers and other local farm stands.  The floriculture and design aspect is run by Pistil Production.

All products from the farm are grown under environmentally sound practices.

Mud City Farm is conserved by the Vermont Land Trust. 

To be farmland, wild and free, forever.
