Welcome to Gordon St. Hilaire's Blog

Introduction to Gordon St. Hilaire

Hi, I'm Gordon St. Hilaire from Williston, Vermont and this is my blog.  

Gordon St. Hilaire - Teacher

I'm a middle school teacher (grades 5-8) and teach science and math.  I'm a big believer in STEM education. STEM education, which stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math, is super important. It helps us understand the world around us and solve real-life problems. When we learn STEM, we become better thinkers, creators, and problem solvers. 

These skills are not just useful for school but also for future jobs and everyday life. The coolest inventions and discoveries, like smartphones and space travel, come from STEM. I want to help the next generation have these skills.

Gordon St. Hilaire - Organic Farmer

I'm also an organic farmer.  You can find the website at gordonsthilaire.com. I raise grass fed Herefords on my family's 30 acre farm in Williston, VT. Our cows have access to shelter and fresh grass. My family has been operating the farm since the 1950s. Our farm practices organic farming methods, avoiding synthetic pesticides, hormones, and antibiotics. This means you get beef that’s not only healthier but also more sustainable.

Our grass-fed beef is known for its superior taste and nutritional benefits. Whether you’re grilling steaks or slow-cooking a roast, our beef is sure to impress.

New Holland 450 Utility Round Baler

Gordon St.Hilaire and his family farm are moving forward walking viewers through our next step in our hay production process which is the baling of our hay. We use two balers on the farm. Today, we are introducing our New Holland 450 Utility baler. This is a round baler and is strictly a dry only hay baler. It has a variable chamber to produce different size bales as well. We primarily produce 4x4 round bales for our needs. This baler was bought new a few years back and is very simple to operate. It uses conventional baler twine and requires maintenance such as greasing, pick up head adjustment and the oiling of chains before each use. About 90% of the hay we produce is round bales. We do still produce some square bales as well. We will discuss that baler next time. Have a great day!

Hay Tedder

Gordon St.Hilaire and his family farm shared the first machine we use in our hay production last which was our 479 New Holland. The next machine in our hay process is the hay Tedder.  This machine was bought new and works great! The Tedder has two rotating spools that are PTO driven from the tractor to scatter the new mowed hay. This evenly distributes the hay to allow the sun and wind to begin the drying process. This machine requires very little maintenance. The things that are checked before use are tire pressure, grease fittings, and adjustment of the height of the Tedder itself. It is a great machine and does a great job in our hay production.
