Description

This 1813+ acre organic cow-calf-to-finish operation in Vermont presents a strategic investment opportunity for agricultural entrepreneurs seeking a sustainable and profitable venture. Located in the fertile Champlain Valley of Vermont, the property has a well-established turn-key infrastructure, including modern buildings, water systems, corrals, feed storage facilities, and equipment. With ample land for expansion and diversification, this property offers significant growth potential. The current herd numbers 280 mature cows, 18 breeding bulls, 155 feeder cattle, and 160 spring 2024 calves, with ongoing fall calving so far numbering 45 calves and expecting approximately 60 more. Given the resources this property commands, this herd could be greatly expanded. The operation benefits from strong marketing relationships for both beef and forage, with a steady revenue stream. The property's prime location also presents opportunities for conservation, further enhancing its value. The long-time current farm manager is willing to stay on the operation, pending employment terms. Two 14,000sf mother cow barns highlight the improvements. The topography is gently rolling, with 750 acres of established cropland, 850 acres of pasture, and 146 acres of forestland. The farmland includes 562 acres in a conservation easement with Vermont Land Trust supporting agricultural use. Supplemented by additional leased land (1,000+ acres) in the immediate area for organic feed production.
