Beidler Family Farm
Randolph Center, Vermont
When the Organic Valley Cooperative expanded from Wisconsin into Vermont, Brent and Regina Beidler of Randolph Center, Vermont, were among the first farmers to sign on. “Our milk was on the first truckload, so we’ve shared in the excitement of watching the cooperative grow,” Regina says.
From mid-May through the end of October, the cows are on pasture, grazing, chewing their cuds, resting, and enjoying the sociability of the herd. They return to the barn, located in the center of the farm’s 140 acres, twice a day for milking. The small herd of Jerseys and Holsteins produces about a ton of organic milk per day.
You can meet Brent and Regina Beidler at a potluck Harvest Supper, co-sponsored by the Co-op, on Sunday, October 2, 2005. Check here for details.

Meat Department
We run our Meat Counters like an old-fashioned butcher shop. Meat cutting is a trade that has a long history and takes a lot of skill to do it right, and as a result our meat cutters take great pride in what they do.
