Raven Hill Farm is a small farm run by the Bahnemann/Evans Family in the heart of Central Vermont. We raise Berkshire pigs, Kiko goats and produce maple syrup at a human-scale. Through our efforts, we strive to build a self-sustaining farm that preserves old traditions, honors and regenerates the land and provides quality meat to our community. We farm with our kids, our friends, family and neighbors in the long tradition of small-scale diversified farming that built Vermont.

Our products are available through a "share" program, at local stores and restaurants and online through our Farm Store.

Any hog farmers in Vermont (or neighboring states) looking for a four year old registered Berkshire boar? “Thomas Magnum P.I.” has worked himself out of a job here and we’re swapping him out for new genetics. He’s big and ugly and loses weight in the winter but he’s a proven boar, fairly easy to handle and a willing worker. Message us for details and to talk turkey… or pork rather. #berkshireboar #berkshirepigs #berkshirehogs #pigs #hogs #sustainablefarming #farming #hillfarm #vermont #braintreevt #farmlife #pigsofinstagram #ravenhillfarm #americanberkshireassociation

The fields are being hayed the week. That means setting up a 1/4 mile of temporary fencing and driving the goats back to the barn. #ravenhillfarm

We graze our heard of Kiko goats on the edges of our hayfields. They keep the saplings and invasive chervil in check. Kikos thrive on this kind of mixed forage being partially originated from New Zealand feral goats.

It’s our 11th wedding anniversary today so I thought it proper to build a raven feeding platform. It’s ten feet high with a 4’x4’ feeding tray. All built from salvaged wood. Our love will outlive this rough edifice but in the meantime we’ll enjoy watching the ravens eat peanuts. #ravenhillfarm

These goats are ready to be moved to a new section of pasture, which they will share with redwing blackbirds, bobolinks and likely a number of other ground-nesting birds. This field, which boarders a small stream, used to be part of a larger hayfield. When we started grazing goats we shifted it to pasture allowing the birds the time they need to fledge their young. While I’m sure a few of the nests are disturbed by goat hooves, many have a far better chance of raising a clutch than they would versus the hay mower. Later in the summer, after the birds have left and the goats have been roadster through the fields, we will get a late cut of hay. This cleans the fields up for next season and gives us some marginal fodder for our three too-fat donkeys. #farmingwithnature
