Hillside Homestead

Hillside Homestead is a 50-cow dairy farm located in Albany, VT owned and operated by Renee and Chet Baker. With experience milking cows since 2013, the Bakers purchased a farm of their own in late 2019. Hillside Homestead is primarily a registered Holstein herd that sells milk conventionally but also operates a small farmstand that offers their own raw milk, local cheese products, maple syrup and some seasonal veggies. The Bakers will use their Business Builder loan to improve their grazing system by adding more paddocks and acres of pasture to allow them to utilize the full extent of their land more efficiently.
