The Lamoille River valley cuts through mountainous terrain creating a fertile corridor surrounded by forested hills and peaks. Rolling hills and steep slopes characterize much of the agricultural landscape.

Dairy farming utilizes the valley bottoms and gentler slopes while steeper areas support beef cattle and hay production. The county maintains a mix of traditional farms and newer diversified operations.
