Arshla Farm

About the Farm

Arshla Farm has been a cornerstone of Vermont agriculture since 1951, building a legacy that spans over seven decades of dedicated farming. Located in the rolling hills of Danville, this family operation has evolved from its humble beginnings into a diversified agricultural enterprise that honors both tradition and innovation.

At the heart of Arshla Farm's mission lies their commitment to raising registered Murray Grey cattle, a breed they proudly describe as "preserved by chance, developed with purpose." Their philosophy centers on breeding quiet, efficient and fertile cattle, producing certified Murray Grey beef that reflects their dedication to quality and animal husbandry. The farm takes pride in raising top notch animals with top notch feed, investing considerable time and effort into growing high-quality hay that forms the foundation of their livestock program.

Beyond their cattle operation, Arshla Farm embraces sustainable land stewardship through their forest management practices. Guided by Aldo Leopold's wisdom that we must see land as a community to which we belong rather than a commodity we own, they implement low impact equipment and practices to produce logs and firewood from their managed forest. Their commitment to sustainability extends to horse logging, honoring the long heritage of this traditional harvesting method while maintaining minimal environmental impact. This holistic approach creates a constant supply of quality lumber and specialty materials through their on-site sawmill, offering custom mobile sawing services that produce materials unavailable at regular building supply stores.
