Hive & Hen Farm

About the Farm

Nestled in the heart of Highgate, Vermont, Hive & Hen Farm stands as a testament to one woman's commitment to quality and sustainability. Maggie Batchelder, born and raised in Vermont, founded this family-owned operation out of a deep dissatisfaction with store-bought ingredients and a passionate desire to provide her family with wholesome, high-quality foods. What began as a personal mission to create better meals for her loved ones has blossomed into a thriving farm that serves the broader community.

The journey into homesteading and farming brought Maggie an unexpected fulfillment that extends far beyond her kitchen table. Five years ago, she taught herself the art of canning and preserving, discovering not only a valuable skill but a deeply satisfying way of life. This dedication to traditional methods and farm-fresh ingredients has become the cornerstone of Hive & Hen Farm's philosophy, where nearly every ingredient used in their products is grown right on the property.

Today, Hive & Hen Farm represents more than just a business venture. It embodies Maggie's vision of sustainable agriculture and her commitment to supporting local food systems. The farm takes pride in offering products crafted with love and care, using time-honored techniques that ensure the best taste and freshness. Through her work, Maggie hopes to share the same sense of achievement and satisfaction that comes from knowing exactly where your food originates, bringing the authentic flavors of Vermont directly to families throughout the region.
