Established as an operating dairy farm more than 30 years ago, Rob and Linda Dimmick along with their three children Bobby, Bailey, and Billy are continuing the tradition on the family farm. Nestled in the rolling hills of Randolph Center, Vermont, Neighborly Farms decorates the countryside with its red barn and white post and beam farmhouse built in the 1800s. The farm operates on 168 acres with cropland and grazing fields to support the dairy and a sugarhouse for producing pure Vermont maple syrup. The clean and tidy barn is home to 48 Holsteins—the black and white cows that symbolize rural living at its very best. The Neighborly Farms store features products created and produced by our farm neighbors, including dairy products, maple products, wood products, bee products, and more. It also features a viewing area where visiters can see the cows and the complete cheesemaking operation.
Rob and Linda are continuing the family farming tradition because they have a passion for the land and animals. The farm is a totally organic farm. This means the farm is run in complete harmony with the land and the animals; no antibiotics, no hormones, and no commercial fertilizers. Just pure and natural techniques that keep the cows healthy and happy and the dairy products wholesome and chemical free. It means that the cheese produced at Neighborly Farms; Monterey Jack, Colby, Feta, and Cheddar; are pure and natural. And the best part? The organic cheeses taste great too--so great in fact that in our short time of commercial production, we have been the proud recipients of six American Cheese Society awards, including blue ribbons for our Colby and Jalapeno Jack.
Growing up on the farm taught Rob the value of having and being a good neighbor. Being a good neighbor means keeping the farm in top shape so it is pleasing to those who wander by, it means hospitality, caring, and helping others. That is why they chose the name Neighborly Farms. Like the good feeling you get when someone is "neighborly," you'll feel good about Neighborly Farms and the dairy products produced in this setting. Rob and Linda are getting back to basics at Neighborly Farms; being good stewards of the beautiful surroundings and animals and sharing the results by producing the best dairy products possible. |
