Asgaard Farm, near AuSable Forks, is the former home of artist, writer, adventurer and political activist Rockwell Kent. It was acquired by David Brunner and Rhonda Butler in 1988. After working several years to restore the land and buildings, they put the farm back into production, initially growing certified organic grains and hay. The property was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2020.
Today a loving, productive herd of Alpine, Nubian and Saanan goats is the mainstay of the farmstead dairy at Asgaard. Cheeses are made with mainly French influence as they have for centuries in small batches with the milk produced on the farm. Grass-fed beef, whey-fed pork and pastured poultry drive a truly regenerative management of our soils and diversify our offerings. Asgaard Farm is also part of the American Tree Farm System, and its woodlands are managed using sustainable forestry practices.
To find Asgaard: At the southern end of Main Street in AuSable Forks, go over the bridge that crosses the East Branch of the Ausable River. Turn right immediately after the bridge onto Sheldrake Road. The farm is located about 1 1/2 miles further on the right hand side of the road.
