About the farm


 

Reap & Sow Farm was formed in 2019 in the Champlain Valley of Vermont. We initially grew vegetables and herbs primarily for the restaurants and caterers of Chittenden County, as well as the Burlington Farmers Market. The pandemic in 2020 forced our hand to change and adapt, which resulted in us creating a large CSA and cutting back on restaurant sales. After 5 years of growing on leased land we decided to cease our farming operations until we could buy our own land.

Starting in late 2023 and early 2024 we have taken our farming, growing, and building skills and transitioned them into a landscaping company. If we can’t have our own land to grow food for our customers, we may as well take the growing directly to them. To make this project come to life we have partnered with our friends at VT Vineyards to bring garden dreams to life!

Matt Lasser

Matt first came to Vermont in 2008 as a freshman at UVM. Between the people and the landscape, Vermont felt more like home than anywhere else. After living in the Sierra Nevadas and Massachusetts after college he came back to Vermont in 2017 and charged straight ahead towards starting Reap & Sow. When not farming in the fields or putting things on plates in a kitchen you can find Matt making music, exploring wilderness, watching movies, or paddling his kayak down a quiet stream.
