Fat Chance Farm

Fat Chance Farm, milking Devon cattle, Hyde Park, VT, is situated in Lamoille County and the Green Mountains near Burlington. Owned by Diane Ashworth, the farm has bred milking Devon cattle for several years, maintains memberships in national breed organizations, and adheres to recorded pedigree standards, with all breeding stock health tested for calcium metabolism and overall soundness. Cattle graze on rotational pastures and receive daily hands-on care, with calves raised in family barns to ensure early socialization and gentle handling.

The farm’s gentle bulls and dams regularly earn recognition at state fairs and inspections, reflecting a commitment to balanced temperament and robust milk production. Regular open days allow visitors to observe herd management and learn about sustainable grass-based farming practices. Diane regularly shares insights with fellow breeders and community members, promoting grass-fed dairy production at local cooperative markets and educational workshops.
