Nestled in the heart of the Green Mountains......
 Welcome to Deerfield Farm Icelandics!
We hope you enjoy your on-line visit to our farm as much as we enjoy living here. We were fortunate enough to stumble upon this 85+ acre estate several years ago. The rest is history. I knew we were in the right place when our Icelandics and family pets settled in here comfortably. We built a large barn, attached a 20 x 65 shed for the horses, built a huge heated tack room/lounge and fenced over 15 acres of pasture. Those were busy years! Now, we are beginning to be able to sit back at times and enjoy the Icelandic horses playing in the fields and exploring the woods throughout their pastures.
Deerfield Farm Icelandics, appropriately named by our children for the abundant deer and wildlife in our fields and apple trees, has been a dream come true. Not only did I get to live my dreams once, but twice. Without the support of my wonderful husband, Nicholas, my dreams would not be a reality. The later of my dreams was to raise Icelandic horses. My husband enticed me by saying, if we move to Lincoln you can have more horses. (Sometimes, I think he wishes he didn’t say that!)
My husband and friends tell me that they have never seen a woman so passionate and dedicated to Icelandic horses as I am.
Along with my 18 yr old daughter, Kristen, son, Patrick, age 16 and husband Nicholas, we run the farm on a day-to-day basis. We have some local teenage girls who help on the farm and host some students from the local high school in their internship program.
All in all, equine and human alike, we are very happy here nestled on our little farm. We hope to see you sometime whether it be for a visit to our farm or out on the trails!
Happy trails,
Susan
