Sunrise is a community-supported farm bringing people together to celebrate local food and strengthen local agriculture.
We grow vegetables that are sold exclusively through our on-farm CSA from May through October and organic winter greens through local food coops and restaurants from November through April. While vegetables are our main endeavor, we also sell our own pasture-raised lamb, chicken, eggs, maple syrup, and honey both to CSA share holders and members of the public. During the growing season, we work with neighboring farms to offer their beef, pork, cheese, and other products. Our farmstand is on Route 5 in White River Junction, Vermont, just a mile south of town at the old Perkins Farm. Our home farm is the original Sunrise Farm, just up the hill.
CSA
CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture, a collaboration between consumers and farmers. Individuals or families join our farm each year in order to receive the freshest vegetables money can buy, at 30% less than the normal retail price. Us farmers, meanwhile, know exactly what to grow and can tailor the harvest to best suit our members’ needs.
Pasture-Raised Meats
All of our livestock is raised outside on pasture. Our chickens scratch in the dirt and catch dewy grasshoppers in the morning, and our sheep are moved to a new paddock of grass and clover every day. This is meat you can feel good about.
The Farmers
Sunrise Farm is a partnership between Chuck, Jennica, and Sayer. On such a diversified farm, three minds are better than one! Every year we hire 3 to 4 employees to help harvest vegetables, move sheep, care for chickens, and serve the CSA.
