Rose + Em @ Union Brook Farm
co owner
Emily and Rose both grew up in the suburbs of Boston, Massachusetts. Their paths crossed in 2015 while working at Maple Wind Farm in Huntington, VT. Rose and Emily have been a team ever since that first summer and have dedicated their life to creating community around nutritious and delicious food starting a small poultry operation together in 2017. The purchase of Union Brook Farm was the culminating event that allowed Emily and Rose to begin advancing their pursuit of those dreams. We are now in our 5th season of farming pasture raised broilers, layer hens + sheep with pigs in the forest. We also offer a farm stay through Airbnb should you want to come experience first hand our version of paradise!
