We have the juice!

Feast your eyes on this weekend’s festival menu, prepared with love and local ingredients. Service from 3 pm to 86! 💥

Special thanks to our local producers All Souls Tortilleria, Diggers' Mirth Veggie Truck, Intervale Community Farm Cooperative, Maple Wind Farm and Snug Valley Farm!
I’m so honored by this surprise that arrived last week. In my time on the Working Lands Enterprise Board we made transformational investments to support businesses across Vermont, including some close to home including Screamin Ridge Farm, Fairmont Farm Inc., Winterwood Timber Frames, and Snug Valley Farm! Thank you Anson Tebbetts, Alyson Eastman, Laura Ginsberg and Lynn Ellen Schimoler for this recognition. There is more work to do together!

“The State of Vermont recognizes Ela Chapin for dedication and service as a member of the Working Lands Enterprise Board.
Thank you for your efforts to enhance the economies, culture, and communities of Vermont’s working landscape.”
I'm amazed at how good your smoked "uncured" ham is. It's the best ham I've ever had, cured or uncured. Every time I think of it, I salivate. I appreciate your explaining the difference between "cured" and "uncured". The biggest difference between cured and uncured is the fact that the uncured uses natural curing agents, such as celery powder, which transforms into nitrite when it is processed. Whereas "cured" ham, as defined by the FDA use synthetically sourced nitrates.
We work directly with a majority of the producers in our farm store: Svenfish, Frisky Cow Gelato, Terra Nova Coffee, Echo Farm Puddings, Picadilly Farm, Cheshire Garden, Five Sigma Farm, Snug Valley Farm & The Frozen Butcher, Manning Hill Farm

The time has finally come. It’s time for Pumpkin Stuffed With Everything Good!

Ten years ago, Bailey listened to an interview of Dorie Greenspan on NPR's Splendid Table. She was discussing her then brand new cookbook, and described this dish in detail.

He immediately went out and bought the book for me, and I’ve been making Pumpkin Stuffed with Everything Good ever since. I’ve prepared it countless times, and have really made it my own over the years, personalizing to our taste. We even served them at our wedding!

So what is it?

A pumpkin from Snug Valley Farm & The Frozen Butcher is stuffed with housemade rosemary focaccia, Ardelia Farm & Co.'s bacon and sausage, roasted brussels sprouts, apples, toasted pecans, VT Cranberry Co. cranberries, cubes of cheddar, parmesan, sautéed onions and garlic, herbs, and heavy cream. All things delicious.

It is then baked for a couple hours until the pumpkin meat is tender. The cooked pumpkin can be plunked down on the table and served with a big spoon for scooping into shallow bowls; or if you’re feeling brave (and messy), it can be sliced and served as wedges!

The pumpkins will be delivered unbaked, ready for you to simply stick in the oven. Each pumpkin can easily feed up to eight adults, so this would be the perfect dish for a socially distanced autumnal dinner party with your loved ones.

Get ready to fall in love: Ordering opens at noon on Friday. I am so excited to share this very special dish with all of you!

Several new items have been added to the lineup this week including drunken noodles (pad kee mao), chicken salad made with Vermont cranberries & toasted almonds, burger buns, bbq bacon mac & cheese with sweet and spicy house made bbq and Snug Valley Farm & The Frozen Butcher bacon, and much more.

A babysitter was enlisted and so the farmers all went out to play last night for the Vermont Fresh Network (VFN)’s Annual Forum Dinner. Restaurants committed to serving local food partner up with us farmers to create tastings of some of the most delicious food and drink you’ve ever had. We were excited to partner with Burlington Beer Company and Bleu Northeast Kitchen this year.

Fritz and Kelly are on their way to a week of camping so they made a snack pit stop. Did you know you can find our Snug Valley Farm Meats at Sweet Roots VT in Charlotte?!?! And blueberry picking is open! Double yum.

Fresh batch of pigs out on grass today. We are calling this group Team Reno, as they are renovating old, slow growing pasture. After the group does their work on the ground, we will follow them with the harrows and reseed for grazing in future summers.

If you see this hardworking farmer today, wish him a SUPER HAPPY 40TH BIRTHDAY. He deserves it! He will likely be found in a field, on a tractor, grilling meat or wearing socks with sandals.

Turn out day is our favorite day here on the farm. It is followed by the first day of haying and the last day of haying (in that order). Cheers to the beginning of grazing season!

05/02/2022

This is a post about a post. Getting ready for grazing season with 225 fence posts going in the ground for high tensile fence. This will allow us to graze an additional 50 acres this year. *Also, note the versatility of the small hatchback ferrying posts for this post in the background.

It’s looking like more lambs are on the way today and Alison Kraus already had twins, Dr. Eggman and Knuckles, this morning! Lambert had the most beautiful lamb yesterday, Sonic (the Hedgehog). We released Dashi and Captain Barnacles and their mommas back into the general population to make way for these new babies. Very exciting lambing season happening over here!

Photos from Snug Valley Farm's post 04/27/2022

Lamb Report: no new lambs today but yesterday we welcomed a single and two sets of twins thanks to Trix, Loganberry and Cloverworks 113: Captain Barnacles, Professor Inkling, Tweak, Shellington and Peso. We expect more of the ewes will lamb in the next day or two and Fritz is ready with more names.

We have some very exciting farm news today! Sometime early this morning our first lamb of the season was born. June gave birth to Dashi. This year’s naming theme will be Fritz’s favorite characters. Dashi is a character on a show about sea creatures call The Octonauts. AND we now have plastic on our greenhouse so we can start pumpkin plants soon!

Happy Spring Equinox! Yesterday we hosted a sheep shearing workshop at the farm as our ladies needed to shed their coats to prepare for lambing (due dates are end of April). We were very lucky to have such amazing shearers Mary Lake of Can Do Shearing and her apprentice Leslie, and knowledgeable fiber experts Katie of Bobolink Yarns and Prin of Sterling College, to be here yesterday teaching other farmers and future farmers interested in wool, fiber arts and sheep health!

Checked on pigs and sheep this afternoon with Farmer Fritz and everyone is happy in their wintering shelters.

Today, 12/10, marks 222 days of grazing for the 2021 season. We wrapped up our grazing season by rolling out hay for our groups out on pasture. We started the season in drought conditions from May well into July and finished out the fall with below average rainfall. Did that mess up our grazing plans? No, rather it forced us to make decisions based on the conditions and adapt how we grazed our animals. Thanks to all those who helped with advice and guidance along the way Troy Bishopp & Brian Maloney and for the super sweet giant grazing chart.

After our morning farm chores, we spent the sunny afternoon checking out a winter market in Greensboro and ran into many friends, including Hannah of Hillside Farm / Pearce's Pastured Poultry vending cider and chickens, and Karen of Dusty Swamp Provisions (our friend and delivery driver) vending soaps and salves.

If you’d like chicken in your weekly delivery, we carry Hannah’s incredibly delicious chickens. Orders are due by Monday at 5 pm!

Grazing Report: According to Farmer Ben, we have about 10-12 days of grazing left before the cattle and sheep are all settled into their wintering areas where they will start enjoying some delicious round bales thanks to the hard work put in all summer by the farmers. Ben estimates we will make it 218-220 total days of grazing this year, which will be a record year of animals on grass.

Today we welcomed a special AirBnBaaaaaa guest to the farm. Bernie’s Mittens is visiting from another farm and will be staying with the flock for a month or two to provide our ladies with love and attention. Due dates will be in late April. This handsome ram is a registered Border Leicester and will create some beautiful lambs with incredible quality Coopworth wool.

Fixed the water for the herd and then noticed our friend Brent flying around. Brent helped us out a lot last year on the farm.

Today is moving day for this group of 50 head. We finished up our second rotation on this 40 acre parcel, now on to some great feed two miles up the road. This group flowed very smoothly into the portable corral, it made my morning for sure.

It’s moooving time! Fritz and Maggie came along to help. Weekly orders are due by Monday at 5 pm for delivery right to your doorstep Wed/Thurs or for pickup at the farm!
