We raise the calves with the mothers as well on pasture from late April to late October. We do feed grain but it is all grown on farm and is about 10% of their diet. Being biodynamic for us means all of our feed is grown on farm and we have a symbiotic relationship with the land in which it is placed first and foremost.

| Rich: "We milk 35 100% grass-fed CERTIFIED ORGANIC Jersey cows making over 5% butterfat. We are a licensed ‘Tier II’ Vermont Raw Milk vendor. That means our milk is tested at a federal lab twice a month and must meet very strict sanitation standards. Currently in Vermont we may sell your milk only at farmers’ markets or at the farm. Larson Farm has a farm store that is open 7 days a week, 8am to 8pm, self serve. No need to call ahead, but if one wants a significant volume, best to call so we can have it ready. At our store, we offer our unpasteurized ‘raw’ milk in half gallon glass jars for $6. This includes a $2 jar deposit, so returning customers who remember to bring their clean jars pay only $4. We just built a federally approved creamery, and also offer whole-milk ‘creamtop’ plain yogurt and maple yogurt and organic gelato. This summer (2017) we will open a B&B on the farm, hoping to attract like minded people who wish to vacation on an organic farm. One final note: We test our cows for the A2A2 casein gene and have been selecting for that trait for 5 years. We have the ability to do special orders for only A2A2 milk, but that requires an appointment." | ||||

| Laurie & Dan: "Our milk comes from our small herd of mostly registered Jerseys. We also have a few brown Swiss and a few Jersey crosses too. Our cows are pastured through spring, summer, and early fall and eat hay we've harvested all winter. They get grain only at milking times. We bottle raw milk for our farm store almost daily. The farm store is self serve and always open, year round. No need to call ahead unless the customer wants to purchase more than 2 half gallon jars at a time. If a larger purchase is desired we ask them to email us with a pick up time and the desired amount which we will have reserved for them. We only sell whole milk in half gallon jars. It is $4 per jar plus $3 first purchase deposit for the jar and plastic lid, and just $4 with jar and lid exchange after that. The bulk of our milk is made into aged raw milk cheese right next door at Consider Bardwell Farm.

Our farm was awarded the Vermont Sustainable Farm of the Year in 2013. | ||||

If they bring their own jar then they will not incur this fee or if they bring back the empty jar we will replace it with a filled jar with no additional jar fee. We milk year round. January is usually the start of the kidding season and we now (feb 9th 2017) have 7 fun loving kids. We will be kidding until June.

We have the honor system and a store offering milk, cheese, eggs, beef and pork, as well as other local products. We usually have milk all year round. Though we are seasonal, we always have some cows that don't get pregnant so we continue to milk these through the winter months until calving season. If they are traveling from Canada I would recommend calling ahead to make sure we have it, especially if they are planing to get a larger quantity. Most of the time we have plenty on hand." | ||||

| Melissa: "We have a farm stand that is open 7am to 7pm every day of the year where people can come buy milk by the bottle. It comes in a glass quart bottle so there is a deposit on the bottle. We sell most of our milk through our CSA and the supply of milk that is available in our farm stand fluctuates depending on how much extra milk we have and what we bottle that day. If someone wants to purchase a larger amount it is always a good idea to reserve and pay for it ahead of their visit. But people can just show up too and take their chances. Our milk is certified organic and 100% grass-fed. We have other products at our farm stand too like beef, pork and dairy products produced with our milk, both raw and pasteurized." | ||||

Kaili: "We are very blessed to be able to supply raw milk, cheese, and yogurts to folks here in Maine. Our location is on rt2 which is where many tourists travel off the beaten path of I-95. Our goats are raised on love, care, and pasture. Our goats naturally browse in the woods on maple, oak, aspen and wild raspberry bushes. The pastures are maintained with organic fertilizers for the milking does. We began our farm on the premise we wanted to know where our food came from and how the animals were treated. Now we can give this promise to you: "Our animals are humanely treated & not pumped full of antibiotics and/or hormones." Raw goat milk is available from the 3rd week in March until they dry up around December. We also make raw Feta cheese:) Our a farm stand is a convenient way for the community to buy local products like USDA packaged meats, raw goat milk, yogurts, and cheeses. Ring the door inside to let us know you are here :) We are either in the fields, cheese room or in the house. 9 a.m. until 4p.m. Sometimes until 6 pm depending on daylight. Check our FB page to verify times our farm stand is open." |

| Katia: "We produce 100% grass-fed organic milk year round (pasture in the summer & hay in the winter). Our farm stand is open every day of the year and drop-ins are welcome, but it is a good idea to call or email ahead for larger orders. We produce raw cow's milk and raw cow's cream from our Jersey cows. (Sometimes we don't have cream in the winter & early spring). We are looking into adding raw sheep's milk. We are extremely lucky with our food freedom here in Maine and moved to this state for that reason. Good luck! PS We are hosting a grazing workshop by Ian Mitchell-Innes at our farm in June (2017). You may be interested in attending or know folks who would be. Please help us spread the word!" | ||||

LA ROUTE DU LAIT CRU
32 artisans américains qui vendent leur lait cru dans ces 4 États qui bordent le Québec. Lait cru de vache, de chèvre et de brebis, crème fraîche, crème glacée, fromage au lait cru. Tous ça vendu à la ferme, le plus souvent en formule libre-service ("honor system"), à une enjambée de chez-nous.
Là-bas non plus l'histoire n'est pas simple, nourrir des gens qui ne savent plus manger n'est jamais facile. Mais une chose est sûre: ces fermes sont des lieux de culte.
Celle d'Henry où nous avons fait notre première communion au lait cru de vache, celle de Michaela où l'enseignement de la paysannerie passe avant tout, celle de Lisa et Carl, adeptes convaincus de l'auto-suffisance et de la culture holistique de la femme, de l'homme et de la nature, celle de Bob et Lee figée hors du temps, stoïque, invitante comme seules les fermes qui n'ont rien à cacher peuvent l'être, celle de Doug et Barbara où dans leur "Sauerkraut house" la vie foisonne à chaque étage, dans les barils de Kimchi, dans les livres des bibliothèques, dans la tête de ces artisans sauvages qui l'habitent; des lieux de culte.
«Du lait, du bon lait, du bon lait frais pour tout le monde» chantions nous tous en choeur avant que notre agriculture ne perde le nord et nous pousse à aller voir ailleurs si elle y était. Au sud de nos frontières, elle y est.
THE RAW MILK TRAIL
32 American craftswomen and craftsmen sell their raw milk in these 4 American states bordering Quebec. Cow's, goat's and sheep's raw milk, cream, ice cream, and raw milk cheeses. All sold at the farm, most often operating some kind of "honor system", just a stride away from us.
Nothing is simple for them either, feeding a majority of people who don’t really care about what they eat is never easy. But one thing is certain: these farms are places of worship.
That of Henry where we had our first communion in raw cow’s milk, that of Michaela where husbandry education comes first and profit, perhaps, much later, that of Lisa and Carl, a formidable shrine to this life-giving and life-taking endeavour which self-sufficient holistic farming is, that of Bob and Lee, frozen out of time, stoic, welcoming outside scrutiny as only those who have nothing to hide can, that of Doug and Barbara in their "Sauerkraut house" where life abounds on every floor whether in barrels of KimChi, in the many books of their many libraries, or in the beautiful minds of these wild artisans who inhabit their community many levels deep; places of worship.
Remember this childhood rhyme "milk, good milk, good fresh milk for everyone" we all used to sing along before our agriculture lost its bearings and pushed us away. Where is she now? South of the border, in all these little shrines, that’s where.

À 40km de La Grelinette à Maude-Hélène et Jean-Martin, Doug et Barbara Flack, tous deux ardents francophiles, ne font pas exception à la règle: ce sont d'abord et avant tout des amants de le nature humaine et de son potentiel d'émancipation. Doug voit les Mozart et Beethoven de ce monde avant les Hitler et compagnie.
Ci-dessous, une infime partie de la magnifique collection de livres de la famille Flack. |
