Summary
The breathtakingly clear vista from Lant Hill Farm flows over rolling pastures, across the valley toward the foothills of the Green Mountains to the 3,900 foot Mt Equinox in Vermont.
Your host, Donald Previtali, purchased Lant Hill Farm in 1971 for its fields that had been farmed by generations of the Lant family with traditional crop rotation and limited use of chemicals. Don chooses to farm his land and manage his animals through the practices of sustainable agriculture. This includes a variety of organic and holistic farming techniques that support biodiversity and encourage the continued health of the local ecosystem.
The animals currently on the farm are beef cows, and their young, which were born on the farm this spring. A flock of brown and black Sexlink chickens wander the grounds and help with the fresh country breakfasts. The fields grow the feed for the farm animals. Gardens and orchards supply food for the family, friends, and guests at the B&B.
The farm has seasonal activities including gathering eggs, picking fresh flowers for the breakfast table, boiling sap for maple syrup, or picking grapes for homemade jam. (We also welcome families with children- we have flexible arrangements, plus there's lots to see on the farm.)
Accommodations are situated centrally atop the fields on the farm and many guests are surprised that they are really on a working farm. As the second home on the property, the B&B house is set away from the barns and original, turn-of-the-century farmhouse. Although you can see for miles and miles from the bedrooms, you cannot see another building from the B&B.
