From the beginning the vision of Humble Heart Homestead was simple: transform what was once a productive dairy farm, and more recently a monocropped corn field, into a diverse and fecund sanctuary. To share the work we are doing with others - through educational opportunities, farm stays and community events.

A project like this will always be in process, but much has been done to actualize our goals. We have planted over 200 perennial fruit trees and shrubs (with 400 more coming over the next few years), added yards and yards of organic compost, and created a small market garden. We currently have a flock of about 40 ducks and chickens for eggs and meat, a small colony of rabbits, and three beehives to pollinate our plants and provide the gift of honey. Across the farm we are proud to be chemical free - from hay to mulch to feed for our birds and rabbits. When you visit us you’ll meet our energetic and friendly German Shorthaired Pointers, Wendell our Golden puppy, our 3 barn cats and of course Otis our rooster, Pom Pom the duck and Peter, Gray, Bee and Midnight - our family of breeding rabbits.

In addition to the work we do building and maintaining the farm, we are committed to a just and equitable experience for all. During the summer our campers run a weekly pay-what-you-can farmers market, we are currently raising funds to build a Free Community Fridge and we host a weekly pickup for Breadseed Farm’s CSA. We love hosting wwoofers and farm stay guests - we hope you’ll come and visit us! We gratefully farm on N’dakinna, the ancestral and unceded land of the Western Abenaki, and commit to honoring their legacy through mindful stewardship. We invite you to learn more about this living history via the Vermont Indigenous Heritage Center.
