THE FAMILY
Robie Farm is a small family-run dairy farm located on the banks of the Connecticut River in Piermont, New Hampshire. Six generations of Robies have farmed this property since 1870. Lee and Betty Sue run the dairy operation. Lee’s oldest son, Freeman, is the field and barn man, and the youngest son, Mark, is the artisan cheese maker. Tim and Neil round out the family; all the sons help out from time to time. We also have many many generous friends who visit and help out on the farm whom we are proud to number among our family.
As small family farms dwindle in number, farms such as ours are an increasing rarity. We recognize our responsibility to the planet and are actively working to reduce our ecological footprint. Robie Farm products are sold locally at our own store on the farm (come see us!) and at a variety of retail stores and restaurants. Click here for a list.

Betty Sue & Lee | Farm Owners
Farming followed a career in Parks and Recreation for Lee who received a masters degree from Springfield College and was Director of Parks and Recreation in Jaffery, NH. before starting his herd. Betty Sue was majoring in education when she met Lee at Central Missouri State College and she too was following a different career path when the young married couple, then with 4 kids, decided to trade in the old 9-5 for a whole lot more hours.

Mark | Farm Manager
Endowed with a passion and a seemingly innate knowledge of cheese and its properties, Mark's refined taste and methods in the cheese room
are matched only by his knowledge of wild edible (and poisonous) plants.
A conservationist, an artisan and a connoissuer, Mark's work is at the heart of the farm's dedication to truly exceptional cheeses.

Livia | Store Manager
Everyone needs a talented hand now and then and Livia is the woman. Bottling milk and managing the store are just a couple of the many good things Livia does for the farm, our family and the Piermont and surrounding communities.

Davey | Cheese Maker
Davey needs no fancy introduction, he's the guy you may catch singing his heart out while roaming the farm. When things are a little quieter, you'll find him taking that same heart and putting it into crafting a delectable batch of cheese. Coy yet outspoken, if you don't meet the elusive Davey this time, maybe next time.
