 Peaceable Hill is located in Vermont's Champlain Valley which has a climate that is conducive to raising well feathered, hearty flight birds. We pride ourselves on being Vermont's largest Pheasant Farm grower of Pheasant. Our state of the art hatchery and rearing facility was designed and built exclusively for raising flight game birds. Our breeding stock is selected for correct color, size and most importantly their flight characteristics. If your needs are Day Old Chicks, Started or Mature Pheasants, Peaceable Hill is committed to working with you, or your club in planning, scheduling and supplying these needs.

Our Vermont permit allows us to operate year round. Although our primary hunting season begins in September and continues well into Winter limited only by snow depth. The Spring season is favored by many as an ideal time to train a young dog or keep an experienced dog tuned up. Hunts are booked as1/2 day starting as early as 8:30a.m. with fields clear by Noon. Afternoon hunts begin at 12:30 p.m. and end at 4:00 p.m. with the approach of dusk.

Guided and Handled Hunts: Peaceable Hill’s guides are experienced men and woman who appreciate the interaction between hunters and good, stylish working dogs. English Setters and Pointers are typically used for our upland hunts. Their experience and desire to please will be the foundation of hunting tales long told.

Non-Handled Hunts: Peaceable Hill also offers hunters with their own dog the opportunity to participate in a traditional hunting experience. Unlike other hunting preserves, Peaceable Hill encourages owners to hunt over their own dog. Due to the likelihood that other activities may be taking place on the farm at the same time, owners must take full responsibility for their dog’s behavior.
