LaPlatte River Angus Farm

LaPlatte River Angus Farm In 1974, the Kleptz family purchased its first Black Angus as a family hobby. With three cows and ten acres, the LaPlatte River Angus Farm was started.

The Farm has grown to be the largest Registered Black Angus herd in New England. The Kleptz’s manage 600 acres of pasture and cropland in the scenic Champlain Valley of Vermont. NO HORMONES
USDA Approved Natural Beef (Raised Without Growth Hormones or Growth Stimulants)

NO ANTIBIOTICS
Antibiotics are used on individual basis, only to reduce suffering and pain. Antibiotics are NOT used in dail

y feed ration. HIGHEST QUALITY NATURAL BEEF AVAILABLE
Superior natural flavor and tenderness achieved through genetics, low stress, quality feed, and careful handling of animals. Every beef carcass is quality inspected by Laplatte River Angus. NO ARTIFICIAL INGREDIENTS
Grain is custom blended without the use of animal by-products. (Animal by-products are a direct relation to MAD COW DISEASE.) The grain is a special blend of Vermont whole corn, with added vitamins and minerals. PROTECT AND PRESERVE THE ENVIRONMENT
Corn crops are rotated every two years to prevent soil erosion, nitrogen depletion, and loss of humus material. Manure is composted to reduce weight, smell and volume. This, in turn, reduces time, expense, runoff, and soil compaction.

What a great write-up for a wonderful country store in our home town. So proud of all the owners, past and present, the employees who make it special, and to Valerie who continues to make this store a central part of Jericho Center. We are pleased to be part of their journey.

So. Sorry for the delay, this is what happens when you get really excited and then life gets in the way… You post a bit late. ⏰

Food & Wine asked me a few weeks ago if I would be interested in being featured in their Food and Wine story on small grocers here in the US. I obviously said YES! And I will be honest with you, the information they posted is not 100% accurate… I did ask if they could make the change saying we bought it in 2024. But - No matter who owns our fantastic country store here in the heart of Vermont - it’s an honor and a privilege to be named as one of the most charming general stores in the United States!

That’s my news, we are really excited to be featured and so proud of everyone who has helped make the Jericho Country Store stand out. ❤️

Especially our staff. no business runs well without heart and soul behind the doors that stay open. I am so grateful to have such amazing people that keep our store beating.
