Dutton Berry Farm

Paul Dutton grew up in Windham, VT on a dairy farm the Dutton family owned for generations. After graduating from University of Vermont, Paul went to Michigan and worked in nurseries propagating berries until his return to Vermont in the fall of 1982. There he met Wendy, and they planted their first strawberries and vegetables together in the spring of 1983 on the farm in Brookline. That first year they sold off the farm, the Newfane flea market and the Brattleboro Farmers Market. Pick-your-own started the following year and soon they rented a farm stand in Townshend before buying an old garage and property on Route 30 in Newfane, where our Newfane farm stand is today. They bought the apple orchard in West Brattleboro in the winter of 1990 and have been growing apples there ever since. In 1993, they purchased the pick-your-own field on Route 30 in Newfane, as well as the Manchester farm stand location.
