Farming For Future Generations
Want to try something a little different? Cheek meat is perfect for cooking long and slow, try this in your crock pot on a cold rainy day! Offering this cut, truly honors the full animal that no cut goes to waste. Because of that, this is an up-and-coming cut in the high-end restaurant world, cheek meat is meant for very slow cooking with great payoff. The best way we've had it is slow-braised in red wine and herbs for 12 hours. Yum!

Being close neighbors, we've enjoyed Fairmont's meats for years. We had a delicious pot roast of their boneless chuck for our New Year's dinner (2024!) just a couple of days ago. Their animals are raised humanely and their family-run farm is productive and beautiful. (Have a look at their charming web pages.) They've expanded their market to include local dairy products and a nice array of specialty items like maple syrup and jams produced by neighboring farms. It's a great feeling to know where your food comes from. Their customer service is superb. Very highly recommended.

Fairmont Farm has been my go-to Farm here in Montpelier. Super tasty pork, top notch lamb, and the color of the fat of the beef says it all!
I'm also a fan of using the underutilized and overlooked parts, so don't be scared to come check it out.
Bonnie, Richard and family have been nothing but awesome and supportive

Very appreciative of the Fairmont Farm market. The quality of the meats has been outstanding, and visiting the farm for pickup is a great alternative to conventional shopping trips. Fun way to shop local.
