Organic Sustainable Agriculture on Glover Vermont Farm
Posted on March 1st, 2010 by admin
Peruse our beautiful small organic sustainable agriculture on our Glover Vermont farm. We organically grow garden vegetables, raise free range chickens, pigs, sheep and other livestock. Gravity fed pure springwater is this Vermont farms greatest asset. The classic bucolic landscape displays an abundance of wild flowers and fauna in summer yielding many wild edibles too. Wild blueberries, raspberries and strawberries, wimedicinal herbsints abound. Medicinal herbs and plants include burdick root, chickory, St. Johnswort, plantain, yarrow, valerian… Location: 181 Shadow Lake Road, Glover VT 05839.
Yes they are! House hunting in 1999 on the internet we noticed listings in NS that seemed way below market value. We did research and discovered the economic circumstances created by the corporate machine.
In Vermont the dairy farmers are getting wrecked. Unwillingly depending on Government aid and cheap illegal migrant workers. They can’t make a profit on the farms. They’re losing the war with the corporate juggernaut.
We can still hope that change may bring blessings in the long run.
HI.Thanks for your reply.Well huge corporate commercial whatevers are destroying everything aren’t they no matter where or what it might be.I’m not close to the coast here so I’m not right up on the fishery but there is a fish seller at our farmers market who use to fish.Many people move away to the province of Alberta to seek work others make do as best they can.How do you know of Nova Scotia?I’ve always lived here and like it very much.We are “underdeveloped”…:)
Chickens will eat most anything. They will forage for worms and insects or bugs which they love. We raise the usual root vegetables and tomatoes peppers etc. Chickens will eat em all. IF you want nice yellow yolks carrots are great. You’ll see…fence in your garden because those chickens will mow down plants before they fruit. And will eat fruit before they’re ready for harvest.. Take care.
You’re right, we’re in ski country. So far this year however we have no snow. The 8th latest first snowfall in the last 100 years and counting.
My wife and I have some knowlege of Nova Scotia. Such a lovely place in the world. We understand that huge corporate commercial fishing is destroying the local economy. What are the local folks doing to adjust?
-50…wow..I live in Canada in Nova Scotia not so far from you really and it never gets that cold here.You must be at a high elevation?
what are some good things to grow that chickens like to eat
Who ever watch this video never grow a plant or food for them self, they would never know how enjoy life could be. Since I come to US and working from 8am until 6pm, and got home around 7pm. I never know what is life. It seem like tomorrow is the end of the day for me and my family. I am damn miss the free life, the freedom of living.
A while since I saw Vermont. Brings back fond memories. Love the music, too. Must post some pics of our efforts in the middle of France one day.

Beautiful! Are the chickens barred rocks?
Wow, nice commentary TY
June and July are the nicest months of the year. If you like the snow -December and February is awesome. Avoid mid January. Our place got to 50 below the week of January 15th this year.
Take care – Joe
I’d say Vermont is the best example of total agriculture and living in the US. There’s a respect for life, nature, and ideas. Man I’d like to visit there someday.
It’s mud season, hooray! Spring in the NEK is sweet. We’ll be posting new videos of our farming activities soon. We’re hatching chicks, starting a flock of icelandic sheep, gardening and cutting wood all season.
Your video is a good debut. Thank you for your kind commentary. Hope your family has an abundant growing season in the gardens this year.
I LOVE Vermont so VERY much! Nice video, calming.
To me this is how you live. A way of life! If you will! Thanks
