Winter in Vermont can feel long and dreary, but this February, we had a literal "ray of sunshine" arrive at Fairmont Farm in the form of a very small, very fluffy, and very cute new addition.
Meet Violet, our first-ever Mini Highlander!
A Special Partnership
You might be wondering how a Mini Highlander found her way into our herd. In 2025, we embarked on a fun new adventure in partnership with Maine Miniature Highlanders. Essentially, we are acting as a surrogate farm for them; we’ve put in several of their embryos, and our experienced cows are helping bring these tiny wonders into the world.
While most of the calves from this project will eventually head back to their home in Maine, we fell head-over-heels for one particular heifer. We decided she just had to stay—so Violet is officially a permanent member of the Fairmont family!
Tiny Stature, Big Personality
When we say "mini," we mean it. While a standard cow can be quite imposing, Violet is expected to be only about 36 inches tall when she is fully grown.
Highlanders are known for their iconic long coats and friendly dispositions, and Violet is no exception. She has been a total joy for our owners and employees to visit during chores. It’s hard not to smile when you see those fluffy ears and that curious face looking back at you!
On the Moove
Our goal for Violet is for her to be a "farm ambassador." Because she is so friendly and manageable, we plan to have her around as a pet and hope to bring her to various community events this summer.
Are you planning a summer event, a community fair, or a special gathering? Violet is looking for a few "gigs" to attend! She is sure to put a smile on everyone’s face and provide a unique photo op that guests will never forget. If you are interested in having Violet make an appearance at your upcoming summer event, please reach out to us—we’d love to chat about the possibilities.
What’s Next?
This adventure is just beginning. We are expecting another round of calves in late July and early August, and we are already hoping to keep another friend for Violet from that group.
Until then, stay tuned to our social media for "Violet Updates." We can't wait for you all to meet her in person!

The structure of this piece was excellent and it really helped keep my focus where it needed to be throughout the entire read. The points were presented in a highly practical manner, making it simple to see how these ideas connect to real-world scenarios that people deal with every day. It provided exactly the kind of perspective I was hoping to find when I started looking into this topic. Ironically, I caught a brief mention of a mepco bill on a local news feed just yesterday afternoon, which made the timing of finding your post feel even more relevant. I’m curious if you think these specific organizational hurdles are going to become more complex as technology continues to evolve over the…
