Established in 1987, the farm has a long history of natural production.

The vineyards benefit from unique microclimates, with the Butler Island parcel being surrounded entirely by water. The farm's production is led by Jim, who serves as winemaker, distiller, and maple producer, and Judy, who manages the vineyards and maple production.
The business is located on Sugarbush Farm Road, about 0.5 miles from School Number 3 and 0.7 miles from Niquette Bay State Park. It is situated a short drive from the Lamoille River and the Lower Lamoille River Wildlife Management Area.
