Our Family
Meet the Kennett family, stewards of a Vermont legacy.
We’re Bob and Beth, and along with our son David, daughter-in-law Asia, and their children Ella, Cecilia, Leo, and Henry. We would like to extend to you a warm invitation to our charming farmhouse. This isn’t just an agritourism destination. It’s an immersive experience in sustainable living and heartfelt hospitality.
We’ve been pioneers in the agritourism movement since opening the doors to our farm in1984. Our decades-long commitment to sustainability was recognized in 2008 when we were designated as Vermont’s first certified Green Agritourism Enterprise
It’s been our pleasure to welcome guests from around the world into our home and share with them life on the farm. Staying with us is like a visit to your “cool grandma’s” house where meals are cherished, you’ve never slept better, and a few chores and some fresh air does you a world of good.
For us, being green also involves the farm fresh meals we serve. We purchase our maple syrup, vegetables, eggs and fruit from our neighbors! We have been members of the VT Fresh Network since it began in the 1980s promoting the Local Food movement. Beth loves to point out the various items on the table and tell where they came from, including from our own farm.
Being a part of the Cabot Creamery Cooperative is a part of our sustainability message as well. Our farm-owned cooperative makes the butter, cheese and yogurt on our table, providing a market for our member farms who can give back to their local economy. Beth has been part of the Sustainability program at Cabot for years, and loves to explain to guests how they can be a part of our sustainability initiative by purchasing Cabot products when they go home.
We’re also strong advocates of land conservancy and we practice what we preach. We’re not ones to toot our own horn, but we are fortunate to have been given the opportunity to make a positive impact on our community over the years. We love sharing our experiences and projects with our guests, so please don’t hesitate to ask!

Bob Kennett, UNH and USMC, Dairy Farmer & Registered Holstein Breeder of Distinction
Today, our son, David, works with us to continue the proud tradition of Liberty Hill Farm.
He and his wife, Asia, and their children Ella, Cecilia, Leo, and Henry, are a vital part of the farm!
David earned his degree in animal science from the University of Vermont, is an expert judge of dairy animals, and runs the herd. Asia earned her degree from Middlebury College. She runs farm tours, educational programs, and social media.
We don’t think of farming as a job or a chore, but rather as an extension of who we are. Being able to share our love of the land and our dairy farm with others from around the world has added an extra, enriching dimension to our lives. Come join us!
