Our Story

In 1973, we (Nancy & Helm Nottermann) operated a successful dairy farm before we became Holstein breeders in the 1980s, so it was a natural transition for us to use our years of experience to raise natural grass-fed, grass-finished steers for your table. We have been raising grass-fed beef in Vermont since 1989.

With the next generation, we are passing along a strong farming tradition as our son and daughter-in-law, Ben & Kelly Nottermann, lead the way into the future with their son, Fritz, continuing our premium 100% grass-fed beef, non-GMO pork, grass-fed lamb, Coopworth raw wool fiber, and many many pumpkins.

Our Commitment to Sustainable Farming

We believe in treating our animals and land with the utmost care and respect.

Snug Valley Farm is committed to wind and solar renewable energy. As of Fall 2018, Snug Valley Farm produces all of our electrical needs with wind and solar renewable energy!

Our dedication to supporting family businesses is also a key to our success. Hence, Snug Valley Farm uses family-run farms for sourcing animals, local farm supply stores, graphic designers, printers and hardware stores. This helps keep the Northeast Kingdom a vibrant and growing farming community.

We are the grateful recipients of Working Lands Enterprise Initiative Grants. Click to learn more.
