Our Girls. Friday they move to their new home in Pennsylvania. I am so glad we have found a place for them to stay together. We’ve had a hard relationship our cows and me. These beasts, who I had dreamed of having since I was a child, it turned out scared me. They are large. And important. And tough. And beautiful. And motherly. And honestly they are just so much bigger than me. But their beauty kept me coming back to photograph them. One might have tried to kill me, many have crapped all over me, I have been there during their childbirth and have held a new born calf still coved in muck as the mother licked it clean. I have held a stillborn calf and cried with the mother cow; her bellows and mine filling the barn. I have artificially inseminated our cows and I have brushed them from head to toe using aqua net to get their tails ready for the fair. But mostly I have watched them. Everyday for 15 years I have watched them out of my windows and when they are no longer there in my pasture I know I will bellow again. 🐄🐄🐄

Asa and Caitlin, our sister farm up in Vermont, are selling their beautiful farm and moving to help their parents renovate an old farmhouse. K**b Hill Farm is 160+ acres of certified organic farmland with jaw-dropping views in every direction. There’s a classic red barn, a sweet little farm store, and space for horses, goats, or if you want to start up a dairy farm go for it!

The 4-bed, 3.5-bath farmhouse is full of light and charm—think cozy fireplace, big kitchen, and a wraparound porch made for coffee, sunsets, and doing nothing at all.

Just minutes from town, close to trails, lakes, and ski slopes—this place is pure Vermont magic.

Dear Friends,

It is with a heavy heart that Eric and I write to you today. We have made the very hard decision to pause operations at The Grey Barn at the end of this summer season. Increased costs and changing market dynamics since the pandemic have made it clear to us that our current business model is no longer viable.

It has always been important to us that we pay living wages and offer benefits to our employees. It has also been essential to us that we do the absolute best job that we can in caring for this land and our animals. The costs of farming and cheesemaking have risen dramatically over the past few years and raising prices again to our customers is simply untenable.

Many of you have stopped by our farmstand for cheese, bread and meat, a tour and tasting, or maybe even bought milk from the fridge on the porch back in the early days. For all of you we are thankful. We hope you enjoyed all of your experiences here and look forward to seeing you all again over the next several months. We still plan to have lots of cheese, meat and bakery goodies throughout this summer—so please do come and see us in the farmstand and stock up on your favorites! The farm will be open all summer and we would love for you to come by the shop, join us on a tasting or tour and say hello again to the animals before September.

Eric and I need time to pause and reflect on what our future holds. Sixteen years ago, we made the choice to relocate to Chilmark and to raise our family and business here, but a lot has changed and we need to pause to figure out what’s next for The Grey Barn and for our family. We have looked out our kitchen windows at the pasture every morning, deep green with summer grass or covered in a deep bed of snow, nothing but silence across the expanse. We love it here. It has been an unbelievable privilege that we are incredibly grateful for and we are so deeply appreciative of everyone who has supported us, especially all of the amazing employees we have had the opportunity to work side by side with over the years. Thank you.

Most Sincerely
Molly & Eric Glasgow
