Vermont Grass Fed Beef

About the Farm

Nestled in the heart of Vermont, just a stone's throw from the Green Mountain National Forest, North Hollow Farm represents a commitment to traditional, sustainable farming practices that harks back to a simpler time. The family-owned operation has been producing 100% grass-fed beef since 2003, with cattle that are bred, born, and raised entirely on the farm. Their animals graze on grass and clover pastures throughout the warmer months and are fed the farm's own silage and hay during Vermont's harsh winters, creating a closed-loop system that embodies agricultural self-sufficiency.

The farm's approach to animal husbandry reflects a deep respect for both livestock and land. Their cattle, a carefully selected mix of Angus, Hereford, and Charolais cross cows bred with Red Devon and British White bulls, roam freely without the burden of growth hormone implants, digestive stimulants, or antibiotics. The pork operation follows similar principles, with pigs housed in a beautifully restored 1886 wooden barn where they enjoy spacious quarters that honor their natural behaviors and social needs. These animals are raised to optimal weights without artificial growth stimulants, resulting in tender, flavorful meat that reflects the care invested in their upbringing.

Beyond livestock, North Hollow Farm embraces Vermont's agricultural heritage through maple syrup production, tapping hundreds of trees and processing the sap in a traditional wood-fired evaporator. Their mission extends far beyond simply producing food; they are stewards of the ecosystem, practicing Management Intensive Grazing to maintain healthy pastures while providing their community with nutrient-dense, wholesome food. The family believes deeply in transparency, encouraging customers to visit the farm and understand where their food originates, viewing their role as farmers as both a privilege and a responsibility to raise animals with respect and kindness.
