School House Farm
Schoolhouse Farm, LLC is a pioneering agricultural enterprise based in East Calais, Vermont, dedicated to thoughtfully raising livestock in a pasture-based system. Originally established when the owners acquired an old schoolhouse without enough land for their cows, the farm's roots reflect a spirit of community support and collaboration. Through the generosity of neighbors, they were able to pasture their livestock locally until acquiring their own farm in 2018. Today, Schoolhouse Farm offers a range of certified organic eggs, pasture-raised pork, and 100% grass-fed beef, setting them apart as a beacon of sustainable farming practices in the region.
At the core of Schoolhouse Farm's offerings are their certified organic eggs from hens raised on pasture, Vermont pasture-raised pork, and certified organic, pasture-raised chicken. Their commitment to ethical farming practices is evident in the daily movement of their broiler chickens to fresh grass and their dedication to providing high-quality, locally sourced meat products. With a farm stand open daily from 8 am to 6 pm, customers can conveniently purchase individual cuts, bulk boxes of pork, or opt for a monthly meat variety box, tailored to their preferences.
Schoolhouse Farm's dedication to sustainability and animal welfare has garnered them a loyal customer base in Vermont and beyond. Their focus on transparency and quality has positioned them as a trusted source for ethically produced meat products. As they continue to expand their offerings and explore new avenues for growth, Schoolhouse Farm remains committed to their mission of providing wholesome, pasture-raised meats while upholding their values of community, sustainability, and quality. With a self-serve farm stand and a range of purchasing options, they invite customers to engage with their farm-to-table ethos and support local agriculture.
Looking ahead, Schoolhouse Farm is poised to further solidify its position as a leader in sustainable farming practices and ethical meat production. By continuing to prioritize animal welfare, environmental stewardship, and community engagement, they aim to inspire a new generation of conscientious consumers and set a high standard for the industry. As they explore opportunities for expansion and innovation, Schoolhouse Farm remains dedicated to providing top-quality, locally sourced meat products while upholding their commitment to responsible farming practices.
