Visit a Revived Middlebury Farm Stand
As a certified organic small farm, we’re bringing Middlebury’s former Field Farm back to life and back in service for Route 7 travelers and the local community in Addison County, Vermont. Through soil regeneration, pasture rotation, and expanding the market gardens, we strive to raise and source healthy, sustainable, fresh food that is free from harmful pesticides & herbicides for our local community.
Where to Find Us
South of Downtown Middlebury on Route 7
Locals may remember this idyllic little farm as the Field Farm. A Middlebury welcome wagon of sorts for travelers heading north on Route 7 from Rutland and beyond, and surrounded by hay fields and mountain vistas looking East. The Vermont certified organic farm has a great indoor farm stand and commercial kitchen, harkening from a number of farmers over the years growing, cooking, and purveying their wares amid sprawling tidy market gardens and quaint, ancient small barns. As your hosts, we look forward to welcoming you and being your neighborhood farm stand.
COVID-19 safety at the farm
Farm staff are all fully vaccinated. Abiding by CDC safety protocols and protection for everyone who visits, we ask that anyone entering the farm stand who is not fully vaccinated please wear a mask. No more than 2 customers or one party at a time in the farm stand, and please keep 6 feet from one another, and please utilize the onsite hand sanitizer as you enter. Let’s keep the healthy good vibes going, Vermont!

What’s In the Farm Stand
We grow a variety of veggies, pumpkins, herbs, and flowers for the farm stand as well as our CSA. The farm stand is also stocked with choice varieties of veg, fruit, and pantry goods from other local farms and purveyors. We post the latest availability on our Instagram, @nextchapterfarm. Unless otherwise indicated, all produce is certified organic. We also have colorful eggs produced by our pastured laying hens, and we’re currently accepting pre-orders for whole hogs for late Fall 2021 delivery.
Who We Are
Next Chapter Farm LLC is owned and operated by Lara Dickson, the voice of this website. I started raising pigs in 2015 in Berlin, Vermont, and in 2019 finally settled on the outskirts of Middlebury at the former Field Farm. My sister and niece arrived in 2019 to round out the venture, and are excited to embark on the “next chapter” of their own lives amid piglets, baby chicks, and seedlings. As your farmer, I look forward to meeting you…and feeding you!
