big picture farm
a vermont goat dairy & farmstead confectionery
Based in Townsend, Big Picture Farm is the home to almost 30 Saanens, Alpines and floppy-eared Nubians. Yes, we’re talking goats and these lucky guys get to roam freely around the farm eating what’s in season. Imagine their diet:
Spring – wild chocolate mint, clover, honeysuckle and other wildflowers
Summer – legumes and beans
Fall – crisp oak leaves, apples and ferns
Winter – white pine and hemlock saplings
And of course some premium local hay.
This varied and flavorful diet translates into milk that is “exceptionally floral and creamy” that is used to make:
– farmstead goat milk caramels
– small batch cheeses
Louisa and Lucas, the owners of Big Picture Farm, don’t mess around – their product list may be short, but their press and award list is long:
– 2013 Good Food Awards winner
– 2012 SOFI Award for Outstanding Confection
– 2012 USDA Value-Added Producer Grant
– 2011 Winner of the BDCC/Strolling of the Heifers/Farm Business Plan Competition
And Louisa and Lucas aren’t just farmers. They’re also artists. Learn more about them and their journey on their blog, “Farm Weather”.
With their charming logo, packaging and commitment to their mission, Big Picture Farm is a farm to celebrate and support.
They get the big picture.
