Marble Hill Farm

Creating a Sense of Place Marble Hill Farm is a 150-acre farm located in southwest Monroe County that has been owned and managed by Whitney and Kip Schlegel since 1998. From its modest beginnings of just six Lowline Angus heifers, Marble Hill Farm has since grown to include over 200 animals. Among its residents are Lowline Angus cattle for beef, Shetland sheep for wool, and pasture-raised poultry for eggs. Horses, donkeys, waterfowl, cats, and dogs roam Marble Hill Farm for pleasure and company. Over the years, Marble Hill Farm has received USDA grass-fed beef certification and has worked in partnership and received funding with the Natural Resources and Conservation Service (NRCS) to improve soil health and forage growth, to implement a multi-species rotational grazing system, to develop and implement a soil nutrient management plan, to establish monarch and wildlife habitat, to develop and implement a forest management plan and to build a second high tunnel to extend the growing season for specialty crops. The Monroe County Soil and Water Conservation District (MCSWCD)​ also provides expertise and funding ​to support land stewardship​ of the farm. ​Marble Hill Farm proudly engages in a variety of community service partnerships throughout Monroe County to increase farm-based education and experiential learning opportunities. Inquiries about partnerships, purchasing meat or produce, and farm visits are welcome.
