p1010002_0.jpgLePage Farm

Alan LePage – Barre, Vermont

LePage Farm has been growing and marketing organic fruits and vegetables locally year ’round for 3 decades. We are located in Barre Town near the top of Beckley Hill and has been farmed continuously by the LePages since the Civil War. Although our clay loam soils are not considered ideal for a
vegetable farm, we have always amazed customers by the flavor of our produce. This has much to do with re-mineralization of our soils, and the organic matter produced by the use of many sources of composted animal manures. We grow over 110 varieties of vegetables, the production of which we pioneered in central Vermont. Globe artichokes, honeydew melons, okra, lima beans, romanesco broccoli, sweet potatoes, peanuts, tomatilloes and many other varieties were first grown in Vermont here on this farm. And we still are working on new introductions to the brief Vermont growing season. Whether you want a golden turnip in January, or a Sharlyn melon in August, you will find professionally grown produce, worth what you pay for it from us. E-mail us with your questions or comments – lepagefarm@yahoo.com, or join in our radio talk show, The Curse of the Golden Turnip, Sunday 6 to 9 AM on WGDR-FM 91.1. O, T, W

Products at market — mixed vegetables, flowers, pickles, salsa, lacto-fermented veggies.

family-oven.jpgRed Hen Baking Company

Randy George & Eliza Cain – Middlesex, Vermont

At Red Hen Baking Company, we specialize in long-fermented, handmade, hearth baked breads. Most of our breads are naturally leavened. This process involves maintaining starters that have support a population of wild yeasts and beneficial bacteria. The breads made in this manner are chewier and more flavorful than breads leavened with commercial yeast. Our breads are Certified Organic and many of them make use of local ingredients. After eight and a half years of running the business in Duxbury, Randy George and Eliza Cain, co-owners, moved the bakery to a new home in Middlesex in November 2007. The new location operates as the wholesale bread bakery and also offers a café serving espresso drinks, pastries and our breads. We have been selling our certified organic, naturally-leavened, hearth-baked bread every summer at The Montpelier Farmer’s Market since 2000. We use locally grown whole wheat flour from Gleason Grains (Bridport), Yukon gold potatoes from Foote Brook Farm (Johnson), local maple syrup in our sticky buns and we shop at the farmer’s market weekly during the season to select toppings for our seasonal brioche tarts. O, T, W

Products at market — 12 varieties of certified organic, naturally leavened breads and rolls, sticky buns, and brioche tarts, panettone in season.
