================================================
Farm History: Jericho Settlers' Farm was founded in 2002 by a mother (Emilie), her daughter (Christa), and the daughter's husband (Mark). The farm name was chosen because we live on two of the earliest settled farms in Jericho, Vermont. The farms are the Chapin Homestead settled in 1783 and the Brown Family Homestead circa 1800s. We continue the tradition of raising healthy food on small family farms.
Farm Philosophy: We grow food for you because we believe a thriving local food system is essential to a sustainable community, both our human-community and the other animals, plants, and the land that share this space with us. We strive for real work in which we find joy, wonder and accomplishment each day, as well as the continuous opportunity to learn and meet challenges. Our aim is to provide real nourishment for you and your family.
