Valley Farms

Upper White River Area Agriculture Directory

Rochester Hancock Granville Stockbridge Vermont

Agriculture has always been a big part of life in the Upper White River Valley. The types of farms have changed over the years, but agriculture still shapes the landscape. Here is a bit from the Rochester Historical Society.

 Birdsong Farm is an ecologically-driven, community-minded, human-scale farm in Stockbridge, Vermont. Nestled in the foothills of the Green Mountains, Birdsong Farm grows food that is environmentally sound and socially just. We grow a diversity of vegetables, herbs, and flowers, and rotationally graze laying hens and dairy and beef cows on the ancestral territory of the Abenaki people.

Clearfield Farm is a certified organic vegetable and cut flower farm located in Granville, VT. We focus on quality, which means our produce is always fresh and full of flavor. We also focus on accessibility, which is why we aim to offer our produce at affordable prices. From our Spring greens to our Winter squashes, you can always expect the best.

Stems and bouquets available June through September at the Rochester
Farmer’s Market on Fridays 3-6 pm; The Old Hancock Hotel; Sandy’s Books &
Bakery; the Warren Store; and Roots Market in Middlesex. E-mail for special
orders and inquiries.

The Drunk Honeybee is a family-owned and -operated small business in Hancock, Vermont. Mother-daughter duo Dianne and Anna Isaacson began growing flowers on less than ¼ acre behind the Old Hancock Hotel in summer 2020, and have continued to grow their business by sharing their bounty with the community through local businesses and the farmer’s market.

We grow sustainably as we can, with respect for the land, putting back as much as we take. We employ season extenders such as low tunnels and our high tunnels to keep something growing year-round, and strive to have the earliest and best looking vegetables in the local market. Our high tunnels also give us a place to start vegetable plants for your gardens.
