Located in Pawlet, Vermont, and reaching into Washington County, New York, the three-hundred acre farm was established in 1864 by a man named Consider Stebbins Bardwell. It was Vermont’s first dairy coop (“The Pawlet Cheese Company”) where small farmers in the area brought their milk. Consider made the cheese and they sold it as far as New York City.

A century and a half later, Angela Miller and Russell Glover are revitalizing the tradition with pasture-based raw milk from cows with the support of their neighbor farm partner, Indian River Farm

Island Time Farm on Shelter Island grows specialty cut flowers and delicious vegetables! They do this by fostering healthy soil that grows healthy plants. They are a no-till, biological farm that uses regenerative practices. The farm is about 1 acre, with 2/5 of an acre growing crops. They grow over 30 varieties of gorgeous flowers, focusing on beautiful, high-quality blooms that last in the vase. They also specialize in tomatoes, heirloom beefsteaks and Sun Gold cherry, along with Shishito and hot peppers.

They believe their practices should improve, rather than sustain, the quality of the soil and the life around the farm.
