Kinne Brook Farm

Kinne Brook Farm has been in the Lake family since 1980. In 2010, Eliza Lake and her husband Bart Niswonger bought the farm and now live in the early 19th-century farmhouse with their son Augustus and their daughter Charlotte.

The farm is rich in its diversification: we have a growing herd of Highland Cattle which we raise for beef; have a flock of chickens from which we get eggs; raise pigs on organic feed and our amazing grass; make hay with our neighbors on our collective 65 acres that we sell out of our barn; cut our own firewood; and provide sap to our neighbors J.P. and Marian Welch for maple syrup. In addition, Bart builds furniture in an old machinery shed and Eliza works as at a local community health center.

We are proud to be certified as using humane practices for our beef and eggs, and certified grass-fed for our beef by A Greener World. We welcome visitors, and are happy to give tours to those who want proof that their food is raised in the most healthy and humane way.
