About me...

My name is Lucy Howe and I am a chef/baker/farmer/creator. I grew up and still live and work on my family’s organic dairy farm,  from which my new business’s name is derived, Howvale Farm.  I am working towards eventually merging the farm and kitchen into one llc but until it really takes off, they are going to remain separate. Our farm currently sells and is in contract with Organic Valley but also does on farm sales of raw milk and meat; such a beef, veal and sometimes lamb. Along with the diary and meat products we also raise vegetables in the summer season. My goals with the kitchen is to utilize products from the farm to improve our sustainability and maintain and continue to operate our small dairy, which are so quickly depleting in Vermont. 

 
I am currently working out of my home kitchen in hopes to soon renovate a room in the farmhouse into a commercial kitchen. Until then, I am running sales when I can of preorder take and bake items or other baked goods and am open to doing small catering jobs . For thanksgiving this year I completed a successful pie sale which received so much support! Orders are currently open for a take and bake shepherds pie, which you can go to the SHOP tab for more information and to order yours now! Send me an email at howvalekitchen@gmail.com if you have any special orders or catering needs. 
 
Being a small dairy farm in this day and age, you have to find a value added product to produce in order to survive. A lot of people veer towards raw milk consumables but to be honest, we don’t have the time or the money to invest in that sort of equipment and renovations. There are so many benefits in raw milk that I decided that I wanted to research it’s use in skincare. This is how MOO’D by Howvale Kitchen was born, which includes raw milk lotions, cleansers, undereye treatment and scrubs. Go to the MOO’D tab to learn more. 
 
On this website I plan to use it as a tool to make my food sales go smoothly, educate my “fans” on what I am doing and to share my recipes. On the BLOG tab you can find where I will share my food research and development, experiments with old family recipes and all my other creative projects. I hope you enjoy my site and please follow me on social media for me immediate updates. ~ Lucy
