Cory, Jake, Jacqueline and Spencer started The Farm Upstream in 2021 with the hope of building a sustainable and viable farm business while protecting land, bodies, and relationships. In their early years, they collaboratively grew wholesale vegetables on leased land throughout central Vermont while working other jobs and searching for a more permanent home.

In September 2023, with the help of many supporters, the four founders teamed up with Tucker Andrews of Bone Mountain Farm and were able to purchase a farm in Jericho, Vermont. They are now excited to set down roots and build a diverse, self-sustaining, and community-centered farm along the Lee River.

The Farm Upstream's name is inspired by the desire to farm with those downstream in mind, both literally and figuratively. As it turned out, the farm ended up right along the Lee River, upstream from much of Jericho and the surrounding towns. The farm operates with a strong community focus, offering CSA shares, a farm stand, and native plant programs while participating in food security initiatives to ensure everyone in their community has access to fresh, local food.
