Meet the Farms

2025 Farm

Sprague Ranch, Brookfield, VT

Sprague Ranch is nestled in the heart of Vermont’s Green Mountains. Owners Chelsea and Keith Sprague and Ethan Pratt oversee the farms daily operations, which includes caring for over 500 cows, taking care of the land through responsible production practices, and giving back to the community through events like Art on the Farm. Sprague Ranch is one of several family dairy farms in Central Vermont area that sends their milk directly to Booth Brothers Dairy, a local dairy processor. Their milk makes the short journey north up Route 14 to the Booth plant in Barre where it’s pasteurized, bottled, and distributed to local stores.

The Miller Farm: 2021 Virtual Farm Tour

Miller Farm is a 105-year-old organic dairy farm in Vernon, Vermont.

The farm is currently managed by three families, Pete and Angela Miller, Art and Judy Miller, and Keith and Tina Franklin. The families converted their farm from a conventional dairy to an organic dairy farm in 2009. They currently care for 199 milking cows and 130 heifers, or young cows not yet milking.

The family farms about 700 acres of land in a combination of corn, alfalfa, mixed grass and pasture land. By rotational grazing the cows, the farm sequesters carbon in the soil and is contributing to the dairy industry’s goal to become carbon neutral by 2050.

On the tour, you’ll see how the farm works to provide safe, nutritious, organic milk to Stonyfield Organic to be made into yogurt. The farm also sells up to 100 gallons of milk a day locally from their on-farm processing facility.

Newmont Farm: 2020 Virtual Farm Tour

Walt and Margaret Gladstone have been farming and raising a family together for over 30 years in Bradford, Vermont. Together they founded Newmont Farm. The farm is named after their home states. Walt is from New York and Margaret is from Vermont. Put the two state names together and you have Newmont Farm.

Walter and Margaret own the farm with their oldest son, Will Gladstone, and their youngest son, Matt Gladstone. The farm also employs twenty three full time people along with seasonal pumpkin pickers for their 200 acre pumpkin patch.

The family and employees at Newmont Farm take pride in caring for their cows to make high quality milk. The farm is home to 1,550 holstein milking cows and 1,250 heifers, or young cows not yet milking. They maintain and care for about 2,000 acres of land used to feed their animals.

Every June Newmont Farm hosts over 1,000 people at their farm for a free farm tour with wagon rides, kids activities, lunch and ice cream. In 2020, the event they were planning was cancelled due to COVID-19.

Thank you to the Gladstone family for welcoming their neighbors – near and far – to the farm virtually instead! You can watch a recording of their live virtual tour that took place on May 16, 2021 on our Facebook page.
