About Us

Amber is a member of the community of Highgate, a graduate from the UVM department of Animal Sciences and a lifelong Vermonter. She has been the dairy herd manager for Boucher Family Farm for over a decade — a dream job that has given her the opportunity to develop her small herd of registered Guernsey cattle, work in on farm dairy processing, and milk and care for a herd of about 200 cows — often with her two children in tow. Aside from her love of farming she is also passionate about being involved in her community, adventuring in the outdoors of Vermont, learning, growing food with her family and living a homesteading-ish life with her husband, Aaron. She first worked with Pumpkin Village Foods when she was marketing cream-top milk, cultured butter and buttermilk and is now pleased to be a small part in a different capacity which allows her to contribute to the local food system.

Land has risen to join us straight from the soils of Lost Nation – his home might just be equidistant from Flack Family Farm, Does’ Leap, and VT Cranberry Company. His beard belies his age, but perhaps indicates his deep interest in history. Thoughtful and soft-spoken yet confident and wise he’s been holding down the long driving days of Friday and Monday with relative ease. It is no easy task. He is a brown belt in Karate helping teach classes weekly in Fairfax. His interest in youth activities also manifests in teaching snowboarding on the weekends at Smuggler’s Notch. When it comes down to it, Land is a cat person, though he has spent a good many weeks house sitting for people with dogs…. Is this TMI? It’s just one big family here…

Julian has jumped into the Vermont agriculture scene with both feet since coming to UVM after high school in Eastern Massachusetts.   From scrubbing dishes at Hen of the Wood and cooking at Honey Road & Grey Jay, to working the vines at Shelburne Vineyard, jumping in on the harvest crew at Burnt Rock, and helping Miss Weinerz in many ways (and let’s not leave out his experience in pasture management AND pest management research projects at UVM) -> it is hard to believe how he’s woven this all together while getting a degree.  His experience, attention to detail, and intuitive approach to strengthening the local food system is something we at Pumpkin Village Foods are still working to optimize while creating opportunities for him to be active and outside.

Seth’s role in VT is to help with sales (kind of) and get products cued up to leave the PVF Global Headquarters with Land on Friday mornings…  In his free time he works at Green Wind Farm as a long term unpaid intern.  Tasks include weeding, fence repair, animal herding, and erosion control.
