"Butterfly Bakery gives us a market we don’t have to invent or manage every single day. If I get a flat tire, I’m not missing my one chance to sell that week. Our days are more predictable and our mission is clearer. We can focus on growing 15 crops really well instead of juggling 30 just to stay competitive at the farmers’ market. I can focus on farming instead of marketing."

Honey Field Farm

Honey Field Farm in Norwich, Vermont was established in the spring of 2020 by Eli Hersh and Valerie Woodhouse. The 35-acre family farm, formerly the home of the legendary Killdeer Farm, includes 15 acres dedicated to growing certified organic vegetables, distributed to over 25 local and regional partners, including Butterfly Bakery of Vermont.

Lucky for us, Valerie and Eli have a special affinity for growing and enjoying hot peppers, which has become their largest crop. Over 50 varieties of peppers are grown at Honey Field, ranging from sweet bells to Carolina Reapers.
