Set in the pastoral hills of Pomfret, Vermont, Cloudland Farm is a diversified working farm which has been in the Emmons family since 1908. Originally a 2,000 acre dairy farm, it once raised Jersey cattle, Southdown sheep, Berkshire pigs, and produced maple syrup. Milk, eggs, potatoes, and apples were sold locally, while butter was shipped to Woodstock in a horse-drawn wagon, loaded onto a rail car, and taken to Boston where it was sold. Ice was harvested from the farm's pond during winter and served as refrigeration throughout the year, and the farm employed as many as 30 workers during the summer.

Now a 1,000 acre farm, Cloudland is operated by Bill and Cathy Emmons and serves as home to black Angus beef cattle, pastured chickens and turkeys, pigs, horses, and a certified tree farm. The farm raises laying hens, Cornish-cross meat chickens, turkeys, pastured pigs, vegetables, herbs, flowers, and some friendly cats. Their daughter Meg works in the restaurant on occasion when she isn't busy tapping trees, making maple syrup, or marketing syrup at Bourdon Maple Farm, while her twin sister Abby is a cardiac ICU nurse in Virginia who comes home to help with farming chores a couple times each year.

Cloudland Farm offers true farm-to-table dining through their on-farm restaurant, where Chef Mike Borraccio creates tantalizing cuisine using fresh, local ingredients from Cloudland and other local farms. The Cloudland Farm Market operates alongside the restaurant, offering the farm's natural Angus beef products as well as local maple syrup, local cheeses, Vermont teas, Vermont sodas, handmade goat's milk soaps, wooden cheese boards, bowls and rolling pins, Laura White pottery and more. The spectacular views on the four-mile drive up the scenic Cloudland Road are part of the complete Cloudland experience.
