This 1,813+ acre organic cow-calf-to-finish operation in Vermont presents a strategic investment opportunity for agricultural entrepreneurs seeking a sustainable and profitable venture. Located in the fertile Champlain Valley within 3 hours of Boston and 4.5 hours of NYC, the property has a well-established turn-key infrastructure, including modern buildings, water systems, corrals, feed storage facilities, and equipment. With ample land for expansion and diversification, this property offers significant growth potential. The current herd numbers 280 mature cows, 18 breeding bulls, 155 feeder cattle, and 160 spring 2024 calves, with ongoing fall calving so far numbering 45 calves and expecting approximately 60 more. Given the resources this property commands, this herd could be greatly expanded.

Additionally, the operation benefits from strong marketing relationships for both beef and forage, with a steady revenue stream. The property's prime location also presents opportunities for conservation, further enhancing its value. The long-time current farm manager is willing to stay on the operation, pending employment terms. Two 14,000sf mother cow barns highlight the improvements. Enhanced marketing and operational expansion will make this farm a showpiece of sustainable and lucrative New England agriculture!

The topography is gently rolling, with 750 acres of established cropland, 850 acres of pasture, and 146 acres of forestland. The farmland includes 562 acres in a conservation easement with Vermont Land Trust supporting agricultural use. The typical soil base is predominantly Vergennes clay and Kingsbury silty clay loam. All the land is very accessible through town-maintained roads and an internal road system supplemented by an on-site shale source. The farm acreage is supplemented by additional leased land (1,000+ acres) in the immediate area for organic feed production.

This farm received the Governor’s Award for Environmental Excellence in 2015 and the AICA and NCBA Region One Environmental Stewardship Award in 2013, a distinguished legacy that awaits a new owner.
