About the Farm
Robert and Bunny Richards established Meadowbrook Acres dairy farm in 1958 in Milton, Vermont, beginning what would become a multi-generational agricultural legacy. After Robert's passing in 2002, their sons Donnie and Mike Richards continued operating the farm, carrying forward the family tradition of responsible farming practices. The operation expanded to include the next generation when Donnie's wife Teresa Richards took on organizational duties, while her son Eric Stebbins and his wife Erin prepared to lead the farm into the future.
The farming heritage runs particularly deep through Eric Stebbins, who represents the fifth generation of his family to work the land. His great-great-grandfather began farming in Sheldon, Vermont, in the 1800s, and the original Stebbins Farm remains active today. Eric spent countless childhood hours learning farm life in the hay mow, absorbing the knowledge and values that would eventually guide his role at Meadowbrook Acres.
Today, Meadowbrook Acres operates as both a dairy farm milking 200 Holstein cows and an organic maple syrup producer managing 6,500 maple trees across 106 acres. As members of the Dairy Farmers of America Cooperative, their milk reaches store shelves throughout the Northeast within 48 hours. The family added maple syrup production in 1998 to diversify their income, developing a certified organic operation that emphasizes sustainable forest management and chemical-free production. Their commitment to responsible farming protects the land, forests, and water while providing nutritious foods to local communities.
