Regenerative Roots
Our birds thrive on pasture — better welfare, healthier soil, real Vermont flavor.
Community Core
Join neighbors, share stories, support local systems that matter.
Evening Rhythm
Bluegrass sets the tone — relax, connect, savor the moment.
Why Regenerative Matters
Discover the health benefits of our pasture-raised products—crispier skin, richer flavors, and food as medicine from animals raised with sunshine, fresh air, and diverse diets.
Celebrate the season with golden, gluten-free, pasture-raised fried chicken, raised right here at Maple Wind Farm—just 1 mile from downtown Richmond, VT.
Each chicken plate includes a breast and drumstick, fresh organic green salad, maple cornbread, and lemonade or water. Need more? Drumstick seconds are up for grabs while they last, and a different vegetarian option at each event from our Chef. Children's plates available too! Local favorite Stone Corral Brewery will be pouring cold, craft beers to round out the feast. (Under 3's eat free).
This is more than just a meal—it's an evening to slow down, laugh, and gather. Bring your friends, meet new neighbors, and take in the farm views while the music and conversation flow. Please leave your dogs at home.
