NEW VINEYARD – “It’s been an interesting ride,” Ryan Stevens said in describing his family’s small farm in New Vineyard.
Full Armor Farm is home to the Stevens family: Ryan and Stephanie, and their children RJ, Ester, Gideon, Miriam, and Gabrielle. The Stevenses grow a variety of fruits and vegetables and raise Scottish Highland cattle – the ‘fluffy cows’ – along with chickens and ducks. During the early spring, the family spends time out in the sugarbush, tapping maple trees and making syrup.
