Vermont Reindeer Farm

Vermont Reindeer Farm raises reindeer in Orleans, Vermont, in the heart of the Northeast Kingdom, roughly 15 miles south of Newport. The Broe family, who has worked this land for five generations, originally ran a dairy operation before Pauline and John Broe added reindeer as a secondary pursuit — making theirs the only reindeer farm in the state.

The farm sits on 30 acres of Vermont forest, and the herd shares the property with fallow deer, mini goats, mini donkeys, ponies, chickens, and ducks. The reindeer are sourced with care, as Vermont maintains strict regulations requiring animals to come from herds free of infectious disease histories. Buyers and visitors seeking reindeer in Vermont will find this family operation to be the sole source in the state.

Education is central to how the Broes approach their animals. The farm traces its origins to Pauline's background in dairy farming — reindeer share the same digestive system as cattle, which gave the family a practical foundation for their care. The herd browses for natural forage including dandelion greens and maple leaves, supplemented by soft hay grown on the adjacent family dairy farm, reflecting a closely integrated approach to animal husbandry across both operations.
