ILoVermont - Part II: Sunrise Farm

Friday, September 12, 2008

The second stop on our Vermont roadtrip was Sunrise Farm, a beautiful new organic CSA farm near White River Junction that is run by my cousin-in-law, Norah and her farming partner, Chuck who owns the land.

As I learned during a brief internship on a tiny organic farm in Maryland years ago, farming is really hard work!!! So my hat is off to Norah and Chuck and all farmers who work their butts off to feed us.

In addition to growing veggies, herbs, flowers, and fruits, they're also raising several flocks of white chickens, a bunch of red-haired pigs, and a flock of baleful-eyed sheep. Chuck also built the most adorable maple sugar shack I have ever seen on the property.

Check out the slideshow below and don't forget to find an organic CSA near you to support. And if you happen to live in the UpperValley of Vermont and New Hampshire, visit Sunrise Farm's site to see if you can sign up for their CSA next season.
