Mile Square Farm Story

We're here to be your connection to the Vermont Revolution. The Green Mountain State is home to hundreds of dedicated artisans, growers, and food producers who together are making Vermont a center for high quality food, crafts, books and lifestyle products. This is our ninth year operating on the web as a virtual store.

Here at the farm, we focus on finding the best of these products and making them available to all of you "from away". We wish everyone could enjoy our little corner of New England firsthand. But if you are unable to visit, come see us on the web as often as you like for the next best thing to being here. We have hundreds of Vermont products on our website and we're a rich source of information about Vermont history, places, people, events, and trivia. We can help you capture the spirit of Vermont.

 

Mile Square Farm nestles on the side of Saltash Mountain. Two hundred acres of meadow, sugarbush, hardwood forest and Christmas tree plantation surround our farmhouse. Everyone needs at least one folly, and the farmhouse is ours - a 1790 timber frame cow barn we are (sloooowly) converting to a home. Enjoy our views.

Why Mile Square? Our town was settled before the Revolutionary War. In 1823 four residents of the neighboring town petitioned to be annexed to our town because they were too remote from the center of their own. One square mile was annexed, an area known for the last 180 years as "the Mile Square". Our farm is roughly the top third of the Mile Square.

We bring a unique perspective to the farm. Two former academics with extensive backgrounds in software development, investment management, and university teaching, dr.j and doc are building a virtual farm in Vermont. Trout is in charge of maple syrup testing and calf-naming.

Enjoy Vermont Only and come again soon.
