Silloway Farms
Randolph Center
The Silloway dairy farm has been in the Silloway family since 1940. Today, the dairy partnership
consists of David Silloway -- named in 2009 by the Vermont Farm Bureau as Vermont Farmer of
the Year – his son, John, and John’s cousin, Paul. Comprised of over 600 acres, the diversified
farm includes a 65-cow dairy herd that produces high-quality milk. With the help of VACC’s Organic Transition Program, the dairy owners are in the process of transitioning from conventional to organic management. The Silloways pre-purchased organic grain and financed some of their transitional operating costs.
“We have had a great experience working with VEDA! They made pre-buying organic grain an easy process and this has made our transition to organic production seamless so far. We strive to be debt free and the low interest rates on their transition loan will make it all the easier to achieve that goal!”
