We (Jim & Monique) own and operate Fenn Farmstead & Gardens in Mount Holly, Vermont. We strive to be as sustainable and organic as possible to produce our own healthy foods and energy on site. This Blog is to share our knowledge and experiences in the Green Mountains so that you can also achieve your goals of healthy, delicious, and sustainable food for your family.
