About the Farm
Four Town Lowlines LLC is a fifth-generation Vermont family farm with roots stretching back to Harold Dresser's heifer boarding operation. The tradition continued through generations, with Pauline Dresser and her husband Lloyd "Pat" Patterson establishing Four Town Acres dairy farm, which at its peak milked 120 Holstein cows. Pat served as president of Cabot Creamery and traveled the country advocating for local farming families. The farm evolved through Roy and Brenda Patterson's stewardship, and later Dayna Patterson and Mike Boudreau, who created the Great Vermont Corn Maze, a 24-acre attraction that became renowned as the largest corn maze in New England.
In 2015, when volatile milk prices forced the family to sell their dairy herd, young Jake Boudreau stepped forward to chart a new course for the farm. After months of research, he discovered Australian Lowline Angus cattle and welcomed the farm's first two cows in July 2015, founding Four Town Lowlines. Jake pursued his education at the University of Vermont, earning a degree in Animal Science with focus on pasture management, nutrition, and animal biology. There he met his wife Ali, now a practicing large animal veterinarian in Vermont, who helps with farm operations when not treating patients.
Today, the farm operates under a mission of optimizing human nutrition and animal welfare while minimizing environmental impact. Three generations of the family still call the farm home, working together to ensure its longevity through regenerative agriculture practices. They have converted corn fields to productive grasslands and implemented rotational mob-grazing programs. In 2026, Jake and Ali diversified further by adding pastured chickens and timber pork to their offerings. The farm emphasizes transparency, responsible agricultural practices, and the kind of agriculture they believe benefits consumers, animals, and the environment alike.
