2011 Butterworks - Northern Grain Growers Association

Grain Storage and Processing
Butterworks Farm
Tuesday, September 20, 2011 11:00 am – 3:00 pm
Butterworks Farm, Trumpass Rd., Westfield, VT
Jack and Anne Lazor farm in Westfield, VT, in the
heart of the Northeast Kingdom, where they produce
delicious yogurt from their Jersey cows. Jack is one
of Vermont’s pioneer grain growers—he started
growing grains to feed his family and neighbors, as
well as the herd almost 30 years ago. At Butterworks,
they grow over 150 acres of corn, oats, barley, peas,
soybeans, spelt, rye, sunflowers, dry beans, and wheat
for animal and human consumption.
This on-farm workshop will focus on grain topics
related to grain storage, cleaning, drying, and
processing value added products. Jack and Brent
Beidler, of Beidler Family Farm, will also share their
experiences from a trip earlier this summer to visit
small scale grain farmers and processors in Ohio.
