Situated among beautiful rolling hills, Asgaard Farm and Dairy is a true ode to creativity in its many forms. It was here that American artist, writer and activist Rockwell Kent called home from the 1920s until he died in 1971. Some of his most stunning paintings feature the exquisite landscapes of this area.
Flash forward to 1988, when David Brunner and Rhonda Butler acquired the farm, lovingly and painstakingly restored it and put it back into production. It is now an operational dairy farm. They have a productive herd of 60 milking goats responsible for the farm's delicious cheeses. They also raise beef cattle, pastured pigs and chickens.
The quality of Asgaard farm’s products is essentially the result of the farm's environmentally sustainable and humane practices. They follow traditional techniques that produce the highest quality products, create happy and wholesome animals and help to restore and maintain a healthy environment.

A variety of their cheeses
Grass-fed and finished beef
Whey-fed pork
