Howard and his wife Lisa are the co-owners of High Meadows Farm, the oldest certified organic farm in VT. They have been farming this land (and using the front porch, see below) since purchasing the property in 1979. This photo was taken in the farmhouse kitchen, a large open room with a big old cast iron Jotul wood stove keeping things warm.
He’s a pretty amusing and articulate guy, and the subject of a great interview by Chris Blanchard in a recent “Farmer to Farmer Podcast” here. See also my PUBLICATIONS page (tab above) and the article on the Brattleboro Area Farmer’s Market.
