A Middlebury dairy farm owned by relatives of Gov. Jim Douglas is among the hundreds of Vermont farms employing illegal Mexican immigrants, one of the co-owners of the farm confirmed last week.
"Yes, we do," said Ted Foster, who oversees daily operations of the sprawling 1,537-acre Foster Brothers Farm on Lower Foote Street in Middlebury. "I've been very happy with the work they've done."
Among the Foster family members who own the farm is Robert Foster, a member of the Agri-Mark board of directors and brother of Dorothy Douglas, the governor's wife. Ted Foster, vice president of the Vermont Farm Bureau, is a cousin.
