The Lepine Girls of Mud City

Embracing Vermont

By: Evelyn Earl Geer

A biography of three sisters who grew up on the Vermont countryside, traveled the world, and returned to their farm to raise acclaimed cows. The Lepines’ story began in Quebec, from where Maurice and Imelda immigrated to Vermont during the Great Depression. The family farmed, lived off the rich Vermont landscape and instilled a love for it in their daughters, Gert, Jeanette and Therese. As adults, “the Girls” taught school, traveled the world and worked for President Johnson but never forgot their roots. All three returned to Mount Sterling Farm, raising their famed Jersey cows and embodying Vermont’s agricultural tradition. Their story is one of hope and valor—of a family who loved their home and neighbors and left their land as a lasting gift for the world. Praise for the Lepine Sisters “The Lepine sisters . . . are the doyennes of rural northern Vermont. The sisters, and the Jersey cows they have been milking, feeding and cleaning up after for more than four decades, are what many Vermonters regard as the real Vermont.” —New York Times
