Turkeys, although predominately a seasonal commodity, are grown both for in-state and regional markets. Turkeys are sold both as fresh turkeys and in a variety of processed products. Pigs are produced for regional markets as well, and also provide specialty markets in Vermont. Goats are raised primarily for milk, and contribute value-added income from the production of specialty cheeses and other products. Aquaculture industry estimates indicate a gradual but steady growth in sales of Vermont-raised fish.
Trout is the predominant fish species being raised in Vermont at the present time.
Vermont apiarists produce over 350,000 pounds of honey annually. In addition, their bees pollinate many commercial and non- commercial crops, enhancing the production and value of berries, field crops, flowers, grains, tree fruits, vegetables, and other commodities. Llamas have been recently introduced to Vermont's landscape, offering backpacking opportunities for both Vermonters and visitors to the state. These farms are also important contributors to the scenic beauty that attracts tourists, who in turn generate millions of dollars for the state's economy. For all commodities, both the production input suppliers and the processors, shippers, and marketers benefit from and contribute to Vermont's agricultural economy.
