Welcome
Your beautiful, happy, healthy, ethically raised Labrador Retriever pup is waiting for you at Red Barn Farm Vermont Labradors. We are proud to offer sound family pups, loved in our Southerwestern Vermont pastoral farm house by AKC standards for conformation, intelligence and natural instincts with a great balanced disposition for years of mutual companionship. Our pups are born and raised in our home from birth day to Gotcha Day. Pup immersion into daily family life experiences is top on our early development Lab rearing priority list.
All our Labs are our family members with generation after generation of health testing, proper nutrition, Vet care, and OFA clearances. Our Labs are not only pretty faced show and accomplished field champions but proud gold medalist couch potatoes and snuggle buddies!
Dogs are not our whole life, but they make our lives whole.”

“We adored Monty from the moment we met him. Monty was our first Red Barn Farm Labradors lab. He seemed to be a bit of an old soul after his first year, and when we heard Mel may be having more puppies, I knew Monty would love a RBFL brother. Our Gus could not be any more different from his big brother Monty. Gus is a young whippersnapper who spends his time hunting in the yard while our old man Monty basks in the sun.
We love both our RBFL boys more than words can say, and enjoy every second of all the Lab craziness! From the minute I stepped foot at Red Barn Farm, I knew the dogs would be special. Mel has the most beautiful personality and kind disposition, and I swear her positive energy was absorbed by the pups.
If I had a farm, I would fill it with Lab puppies from Red Barn Farm.“
“After losing our sweet Lab Bruin, we were on the fence about bringing another dog into our lives. Bruin left some big ole puppy shoes to fill. Our hearts felt empty with out a Lab, so we reached out to Mel (Maryellen). There were no questions if there was a Lab coming into our family, that Lab would be a Red Barn Farm Labrador.
When the litter of pups we were anticipating were born, everything felt very meant-to-be. Prior to the litters arrival we decided upon a black boy pup. Out of an entire litter of 5 there was one little handsome male pup, and he was black! Insert our Charlie boy here!
Charlie has filled those puppy shoes beyond what we imagined. Charlie has the gentle loving eyes of an old soul with the playfulness of a healthy pup. He is beyond smart, and is currently learning to hunt! Charlie immediately had an extra strong bond with our 4 year old daughter, which has warmed all of our hearts from day one.
We cannot thank Mel, and Red Barn Farm Labradors enough for raising THE most handsome and healthy Lab puppies. We feel so lucky to have a RBFL in our family to love.“
“Libby was our first Labrador puppy (she is 4 now; 2022) and our second ever pup from a breeder. Red Barn Farm Labradors was recommended by word of mouth. Our adoption experience and our Lab, Libby AKA Liberty Bell have been the best experience and the best adoption experience we have ever had.
At four years old, Libby is still the sweet, socialized, healthy dog we chose as a puppy. Mel (Maryellen) is knowledgeable, informative, and fair to all new perspective puppy families. You’ll look for a new video every morning chronicling the antics of Lab siblings. Mel loves those puppies long before you know which pup to choose. Highly recommended!
We Love Our Libby!“
“We simply can not say enough good things about our experience getting a Red Barn Farm Lab! We have formed such a great connection with Mel ever since our first phone interview with her. It was apparent from the beginning how much she loves these dogs and cares about placing them in a good home. We sometimes joke that Wilder’s love for affection and attention comes from the care he had as a puppy in Vermont. Rest assured, these RBF Labs are the best family dogs you can find, and their upbringing at the RBF household is second to none!“
“We feel blessed we heard about Red Barn Farm Labradors and to have Mel (Maryellen) approve us to adopt our Lab named Murphy 4 years ago. We truly believe that Mel’s motherly nurturing of him as a puppy helped immensely in his early development. He is an extremely smart and well-behaved Lab and we couldn’t be happier with our precious family member.“
“We really couldn’t have asked for a better experience than we had with Red Barn Farm Labradors! From meeting the puppies as a litter and getting to select our special pup to Gotcha Day at 8 weeks old, with a take home bag including a comfort Momma scented lovie blanket and toy, Mel was fantastic! You can tell the puppies are well loved from day one!“
“Our dog Mallie is by far the sweetest pup ever. I will always go to Mel for my Labs!“
“‘We have 2 amazing Labs from Mel at RBFL in Vermont. Mel is the nicest person you’ll ever meet. She is an amazing breeder. She truly loves her dogs and pays attention to each of their personalities so you’ll know which pup will work with your family. She also gets to know the family as well to make sure it is a good fit and her “babies” go to the perfect home. She is also willing to answer any questions or concerns at any time.“
Don’t take our word for it…
Read what our happy families have to say about our Lab puppies:
“We couldn’t have been more happy and fortunate to have met Maryellen and take one of her pups home. She truly loves them and takes great care of them and knowing our puppy would be loved so fully for her first 8 weeks of life meant the world to us! Remi has been everything we hoped for and more, she has the best temperament and personality for our lifestyle. Driven and energetic while being cuddly and loyal through and through. We love our RedBarnFarm lab and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wonderful addition to the family.”
“We love Maryellen and Red Barn Labradors. We found Red Barn Labs though a friend and from the moment we had our first phone interview we knew we found the right place to adopt our next lab from.
Maryellen loves her dogs and all her pups. She has been available anytime we have a question or want to share our fun lab moments with her. We love staying in touch and following the extended RBL family online.
Our pup is healthy, intelligent, and beautiful. She is a great dog! She has a lot of spunk, has great bird instinct, loves to play and loves being part of our family. She makes us so happy, and we are thrilled to have Maryellen, and RBL as part of our family now too.”
“It takes a special person to lovingly care and raise a pet, yet alone rear that pets babies for other dog lovers. That is what Mel (Maryellen) excels at and it is a selfless act not many can do well. My experience with Mel was so smooth and personable from day one and still is to this very day.
It is an honor to be able to have one of her pups. My family and I are forever grateful for Mel’s human and dog family for making it possible.“
“We feel so lucky to be a part of the Red Barn Farm Labrador family. From our initial phone call with Maryellen, we knew that with RBFL we’d find the right pup for our family. When going to pick out our puppy, we knew all of his litter was extremely well cared for and loved before we brought him home. Maryellen carefully listened to what we were looking for in a family dog, and helped guide us to goofy boy, Woody. Almost two years later, we know we can reach out to her for anything dog related- even just to show her a silly picture of our boy! Ad for our big boy, he is everything you can want in a Lab. He is playful, loyal, and an easy going brother to his dog sibling and human sibling and an excellent dog in our active family. We will never get a dog from another breeder!“
“We were blessed to add a Red Barn Farm Labradors pup to our family. She immediately stole our hearts with her sweet and fun-loving nature. Our Red Barn Farm Labrador came to us full of love which was due to the loving care she received from day one. She is very smart, confident, silly, loyal and full of personality. We love her beautiful coat which is black as night and soft as velvet. She spreads the love of Labs that stems from the passion for amazing dogs at Red Barn Farm!“
“The best thing we ever did was get our little black Lab from Mel. From the moment we pulled up to her magical Vermont home we were in love with both her and our new family member, Benelli.
We love being part of the Red Barn Farm Labradors family and would recommend them to everyone!“
“We got our boy Jack from Red Barn Farm Labradors in May of 2021. He is a pup of Eva and Chip. There are working hunting dogs on both sides of his breeding and it shows! He’s extremely smart, very driven, aims to please and most importantly of all, he’s a very handsome boy.
Maryellen puts in a lot of hard work to produce high quality dogs for their loving owners. From the time the pups are born until they go home to their new owners, Maryellen takes care of them around the clock beyond the expected to socialize them with their littler mates as well as other humans, animals, and various other stimuli they may encounter out in the world. We also appreciate how RBFL likes to check in on their pups via IG to see what kinds of adventures they are experiencing.
10/10 Would Recommend!“
“Originally, my mind was set on a Black Lab to replace my beloved Ziggy, whom I lost a while back. A friend who loved her RBFL girl, recommended Maryellen with 5 stars. The moment I spoke to Maryellen, I knew our little Fox Red Lab was our match made in heaven! Bode was the Fox Red male from sweet momma, Annie and super stud, Chip.
Maryellen is the most wonderful, caring, kind, and thoughtful breeder I have ever met. She would give
us “Pupdates” while we waited for our boy and would post numerous pictures and sweet videos on her Instagram page so we could watch our boy grow. She also made the sweetest send off package when we had our “Gotcha Day”. The sincere communication, attention to mother, father and pups were of utmost importance to Maryellen.
Our Bode is a hunk of burning love, fun and silliness. His personality is as big as he is and we love all of him! He spends his days with his older brother Chocolate Lab, Tucker hiking, ripping up stuffies, snuggling, and begging for treats. To this day (4 years later) we still keep in touch with Maryellen sharing our Bode “Pupdates” on our “family” of Labs. When the day comes to get another four-legged addition, we will calling Maryellen at Red Barn Farm Labradors!“
