Additional Information
Beautiful small farm set up for a 16-milk cow dairy and creamery, located on a dead end dirt road but less than 1/2 mile from US Rte 5. Connecticut River valley: rural, relatively mild weather, easy access to St Johnsbury, Montpelier and Hanover. Please visit our website: www.karimfarm.com for who we are and what we do.
We are, unfortunately, aging out of doing all the work and so are hoping to find folks interested in dairy and cheese making to make use of the improvements we have made over the past 10 years. In addition to barn, creamery and fields, it is possible to lease the established herd and an established brand name, recipes and markets. While we expect the lessee to run the farm and creamery with energy and ideas to take it forward, we will remain onsite and are happy to offer expertise, support and some help with the work. Providing a minimum of three years makes it possible for the lessee to access grants and loans. We hope, when we are ready to retire fully, we will be able to pass the farm on, keeping cows on Vermont fields.
