About the Farm
Nestled in the rolling hills of Brattleboro, Vermont, Whetstone Maple and Mill represents a beautiful confluence of agricultural heritage and fresh ambition. This historic 317-acre farm, previously known as Whetstone Valley Farm, was established in the 1940s and continuously operated for over 70 years by the Hamilton family before finding new life under the stewardship of Jenn Ibanez and Henry Tareque in late 2023. As first-generation farmers, this dynamic duo has embraced the profound responsibility of carrying forward decades of farming tradition while charting their own course in Vermont's rich agricultural landscape.
Driven by a deep love for the land and an unwavering passion for craftsmanship, Jenn and Henry have transformed their longtime admiration for Vermont's natural beauty into a hands-on commitment to sustainable farming practices. Their expansive property boasts a gravity-fed network of over 3,000 maple taps and 60 acres of pristine pastures, creating a living testament to the region's agricultural heritage. The farm pulses with life, from resident cows Raspberry, Ralphie, and Randy basking in the afternoon sun to the farm dogs Pinto and Luna offering warm greetings to visitors, while shy barn cats dart between the historic barns that anchor this pastoral paradise.
At its heart, Whetstone Maple and Mill embodies a philosophy of honest work and quality craftsmanship that honors Vermont's farming legacy while forging a new path forward. Every product that emerges from this farm reflects their commitment to authenticity and excellence, whether it's their handcrafted maple syrup tapped, boiled, and bottled directly on the property, or the high-quality hay harvested from their picturesque pastures. With plans to mill pine and hemlock lumber on-site using their historic sawmill, Jenn and Henry are building something that transcends mere agriculture, creating a comprehensive farm operation that celebrates the intersection of tradition, innovation, and the enduring connection between land and livelihood.
