Who and Where
We at Jubilee Farm grow certified organic vegetables, flowers and culinary herbs at the northern
edge of the village of Huntington Center, Vermont. Started in 1995, our 30 acre farm lies nestled
in the beautiful Huntington River Valley in north-central Vermont. The farm is bounded to the west
by the Huntington River. To the east lies the spine of the Green Mountains, presided over by Majestic
Camel's Hump, whose very tip we see from the fields. We have a rich and beautiful silt loam to work with.
Freshly plowed in the spring it looks like a chocolate lake and smells like life itself. Working outside
in the fields we hear the rushing of the river and see mountains and trees and smell sweet grass and cow manure.
We currently cultivate four acres of vegetables and flowers.We also raise a couple of pigs for meat and manure, and a flock
of laying hens for eggs and entertainment. We sell our produce to our neighbors at farmer's markets and at our self-serve farm stand. We provide
our local restaurants with vegetables all season, participating the
Vermont Fresh Network, an alliance
of Vermont farmers and chefs. We also have a small Community Supported Agriculture, or CSA;
our customers buy a share of the harvest in the spring and then pick up a box of fresh produce each week
throughout the growing season.
The farm is owned and operated by Sarah Jane Williamson with the support of my father. We are helped by a
changing roster of workers. These enthusiastic and entertaining people make farm life exciting and worthwhile.
We also enjoy the support of our wonderful friends and neighbors.
