Welcome To Fair Winds Farm

Fair Winds Farm is celebrating 30 years as a diversified, horse-powered, Vermont family farm.

Farm News & CalendarJay Bailey driving Thor and Dancer

We currently have our own eggs, grass-fed lamb, free-range pork and poultry for sale in the Farm Store, and perennials from the greenhouse shop out front. Nature trails are open and hayrides are available throughout the season. In addition, we have the workshops available in our Draft Horse Workshop Program (see schedule below).

WELCOME SPRING!!

As snowbanks slowly retreat, the farm is teeming with new life. There are lambs, kids (the new ones are 4-legged) and a litter of border collie pups! We are also expecting chicks and turkey poults to be hatched by their mothers, and more via USPS. Spring projects abound as we prepare to harrow the fields, spread manure and plant the garden. We will be putting up a lot of fence this summer and the old red shop in the middle of the farm will be coming down. We are preparing for draft horse workshops and look forward to hosting a permaculture workshop throughout the summer.

Perennial Nursery & Gardens will open in early May - stop in!
