Embrace Rural Living With Us
If you would you like to embrace rural living and experience life on a sheep farm first hand OR if you are looking for the perfect breed of sheep to raise on your farm, then read on! We would like to welcome you to VT Grand View Farm where we absolutely love sharing our farm with others and putting Gotland sheep into the hands of other shepherds.
We offer Vermont farmstay vacations to those wanting to breath the fresh air, get their hands in the soil, and experience country living. With our flock of Gotland sheep, we help other shepherds learn about these amazing sheep and help them get started raising their own flock.
We tell folks we are Vermonters by choice, leaving the city life of Northern Virginia behind in search of country living and a self sufficient life style. We followed our dreams arising out of a desire for our children to run barefoot in the fields, to get their hands in the dirt and to breathe fresh air, as well as for us, as parents, to do it alongside of them everyday. Sheep came along halfway through our 18 year journey of homeschooling our three children. Kim will tell you sheep entered to soothe a midlife crisis, a moment when you want to live life fully with no regrets. Our farm grew out of a desire to provide for our family while giving our children the opportunity to participate in Vermont’s rich agricultural life. From that they learned to appreciate the value of working the land we are blessed to have.
Our love for Gotland sheep has lead us to the shores of Gotland island where we have learned much from the Swedish shepherds there. We have even taken groups with us to Gotland so they too can see the homeland of this wonderful breed. Kim reaches out to shepherds all the time through the online courses and training series that she offers. We look forward to meeting you on your visit to VT Grand View Farm!
