Roland Heath, Sr. started farming in Goss Hollow in the 1950's. At that time he also worked at Ide Grain Company in St. Johnsbury. Roland, Jr. teamed up with his dad after graduating from Danville High School in 1974.

Tip Top Farm is set high above the Connecticut River Valley, commanding, on a clear day, long views to the presidential range in northern New Hampshire. The Heaths milk sixty Holsteins here at the top of Vermont.

Sheila, a ten year old Australian Blue Healer, pretty much runs things, says Roland, Jr., adding, "If you stop by, ask for her; she'll give you a warm welcome and an excellent tour!"
