Sarah Beth Vanorden Morrow

Sarah Beth Vanorden Morrow, doing business as Vanillen Dairy, is a woman-owned sole proprietorship based in Rock Stream, New York, that operates as a dairy farm and food processor receiving federal grants as a prime recipient and as a sub-recipient on agricultural-development and food-safety projects. The vendor does not hold federal prime contracts or seats on federal contract vehicles; all federal activity is grant-based.

Vanillen Dairy operates as a manufacturer of dairy goods—milk, yogurt, and cheese—and processes meat products on a grass-based livestock farm. The business holds Woman Owned Small Business and Woman Owned Business designations and competes for federal grant funding in the agricultural and rural-development space rather than through federal contracting.

Federal grant activity centers with the Department of Agriculture. The vendor received a prime-recipient project grant from the Agricultural Marketing Service dated January 3, 2022 (Ultimate Completion Date January 2, 2023) for pandemic response and safety programming. More recently, Vanillen Dairy appears as a sub-recipient under two separate federal grant awards: a Food Safety Improvements sub-grant from the Vermont Agency of Agriculture (award date February 9, 2026, prime grantee), and a dairy and livestock processing-capacity sub-grant from The National Association of State Departments of Agriculture Research Foundation (award date November 17, 2025, prime grantee). The latter sub-grant funded milk bottling equipment, freezer storage expansion, and refrigerated delivery-van upgrade to strengthen local dairy and meat product distribution.

Total federal award activity across four awards spans from 2018 to February 2026, with combined dollars obligated standing at $131 thousand. The vendor's award footprint is sparse and episodic—one award in 2018, one in 2022, and two in 2025–2026—with no federal prime contracting exposure and no presence on government-wide acquisition vehicles or agency IDIQs.
