They strive to leave the lands and the rivers better than they found them, to leave their communities stronger, their pollinator populations healthier and their local farms more vibrant. The story of Barr Hill begins in 2011 with a beekeeper and distiller working together in one of the most beautiful agricultural regions on Earth - the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont.

The Westbrook Inn was first settled as Nutfield in 1719 by twenty Scotch-Irish families from Ireland. Nutfield is believed to be the first Scotch-Irish settlement in America. Westbrook's land was used as the Common Field where the first white potato, an Irish staple, in America was planted.
