Farm Description
Black Dirt Farm is an integrated and diversified agroecological family farm in Vermont's Northeast Kingdom designed to mimic the carbon cycle. We operate a year-round food scrap collection route to collect organic discards from our community. We strive to put this “waste” to as much positive use as we can by maximizing the number of positive outcomes we can with each carbon molecule while mitigating ecological and social disruption in the process. We blend the food scraps into a compost mix which provides forage for our laying hens, then make compost and worm castings with the excess food and manure, and finally, we sell and use the resulting products to nourish soils and crops. Our farm is firmly based in regenerative agricultural and social practices, and the creation of an ecologically-thriving and socially-just community food system. As of 2021, we diverted 13.6 million pounds of food scraps from the landfill, reducing greenhouse gas emissions by the equivalent of not burning 603,598 gallons of gasoline and capturing enough nitrogen to fertilize over 1,000 acres of mixed vegetable crops.
Being a part of Black Dirt Farm means working in an environment that is both caring and efficient. The farm requires creative and driven individuals who can work as part of a dynamic and, often, fast-paced team, while also being individually responsible for managing one’s own tasks with professionalism and quality.
At Black Dirt Farm we strive to create and support a thriving work environment. We believe our time together as a crew should be fundamentally uplifting to each person as an individual, and that this in turn will contribute to a farm that is constantly learning, updating, growing and producing great products that serve our customers and community, and which we take pride in as a group. For us, a thriving farm culture is diverse, inclusive, and equitable, where all Crew Members, volunteers, and customers of all genders and gender identities, races, ethnicities, religions, class, national origins, ages, sexual orientations, educations, or abilities feel valued and respected. We believe the farm is at its best when we have a diversity of people and experiences that inform what we do and how we do it. We respect and value diverse life experiences and heritages, and work to ensure that all voices are valued and heard. To foster this in our community, Black Dirt Farm aspires to be a place where we all grow and feel at ease to be ourselves, but does not tolerate marginalizing behavior.

Hi folks,
I’m looking for a place to build a small, simple cabin and have big flower gardens!
Ideally looking to buy a little piece of land (less than 1 acre) from a local farmer or arrange a stable long-term lease. Somewhere quiet with water access and safe from flooding. Would like to live close(ish) to a town for fun activities and marketing opportunities.
Please get in touch if you’re interested or have any ideas.
Thank you!
