Parker Farmstead, a Family Farm since 1870

We are caretakers of land and livestock and have been farming from our childhood, and together for nearly 35 years.

Our diverse, certified organic farm has been our families livelihood since about 1870. It is primarily forest and pasture where our livestock graze during the growing season. In the fields, we grow crops to feed our livestock during the winter months.

Our farm is a precious ecosystem shared by an abundance of plants and animals.

Much of our days are spent tending and milking our organic dairy herd and raising food for our animals and community, while managing the business and office side of farming. We also raise a few beef cattle, tend a small flock of fine wool sheep, mohair goats, and Berkshire pigs. A little flock of laying hens and two livestock guardian dogs, Gertie and Bernie, round off our farm family.

We hope to provide you something nourishing and heartwarming from our farm.
