Sweet Rowen Farmstead

Sweet Rowen Farmstead is a grass-based hill farm in Northern Vermont. Our small herd of pasture-raised Vermont Heritage Lineback cows produces delicious milk, which we bottle and craft into yogurt, cheese, and dip in our wood-fired creamery. Our cows are family, each with their own name and personality. They get fresh pasture daily, along with hay that we grow and cut ourselves, preserving that rich summer energy for the winter months.

We follow a holistic approach to grazing management: our milking herd is moved to a new piece of pasture every twelve hours during the grazing season (May–September).

During the snowy Vermont winters when our cows are unable to graze, they spend their days in the barn where a well lit sand-bedded free stall allows them to achieve full physiological expression.
