Jack Lazor

Jack Lazor was co-owner of Butterworks Farm in Westfield, VT, with his wife, Anne, and cofounder of the Northern Grain Grower’s Association. Jack grew organic grains in the mountains of Vermont’s Northeast Kingdom from 1975 until his passing in 2020, both for human consumption and for feed for the family’s herd of Jersey cows. He is considered a leader in the movement for growing grains in cold climates, and was the recipient of many agricultural awards. Butterworks Farm grows corn, oats, barley, soybeans, legumes, alfalfa, and oilseeds, such as flax and sunflower. They also produce organic Jersey milk yogurt, buttermilk, sweet Jersey cream, cheddar cheese, and grain products.
