About the Farm
Haven Hill Farmstead is a small family farm nestled in Wallingford, Vermont, where a law librarian named Mariah and materials science engineer named Ned decided to transform their passion for land stewardship into practice. After moving to Vermont in 2021, this couple committed to what they describe as years of talking about being good stewards of the land by actually doing it. Their journey represents a transition from professional careers to hands-on farming, with Mariah conducting the day-to-day operations while Ned dedicates his time off to installing irrigation systems, clearing brush, building beds, and supporting Mariah's ambitious farm projects.
The farm operates as a certified organic market garden on roughly three-quarters of an acre, where they cultivate a diverse array of fruits, vegetables, herbs and flowers. Their mission centers on bringing delicious vegetables to their community by nurturing a thriving soil ecosystem and selecting crop varieties known especially for their exceptional flavor and texture. They aspire to be like that gardener friend who shows up with really delicious produce, except their garden happens to be a bit bigger than most backyard plots. The farm maintains strict standards, using no pesticides or fungicides, even those permitted under organic certification, because their farm serves as both their livelihood and the place where their children play.
Supported by Mariah's mother, who weeds almost daily during summer months, and their three young children who excel at eating ground cherries and strawberries, the family has embarked on an ambitious decades-long project. They are slowly transforming their 30-plus acres of neglected woods and fields from overgrown land filled with invasives into a vibrant, productive ecosystem. This includes what they describe as a committed battle against honeysuckle and buckthorn, while carefully integrating animals like chickens, pigs, ducks, and cats into their land management strategy.
