Very happy we went. The trails, the shuttles, the animals, the friendly and knowledge staff, the bread and cheese making areas - - all great.

This is simply one of the most picturesque places to visit in Vermont. The landscape was originally the work of Frederick Law Olmsted with its pastoral views. The farm is now devoted to sustainable farming and has a vibrant Market Garden to enjoy that provides farm to table ingredients for their restaurant at the Inn. Without a doubt, the Formal Gardens at Saxton Point is truly stunning. The backdrop of this garden is the historic home now an Inn, a timeless example of Queen Anne architecturefrom the Guilded Age.. A nod to the many people who are working there as they were immensely helpful and knowledgeable. The gardener at the Formal Garden was informative about what to see and the perennials in the garden. It is one of those places you must go to and savor every bit of nature. Spend an afternoon and wear very comfortable shoes as it will be alot of walking. Highly recommend

Great little farm with a wonderful history. Cheese and bread making on site. Dark animals to see and pet. It's got an inn and restaurant that are worth making reservations for. You can run and bike around the roads on the property. There's nature trails and beautiful views of the lake

As for me it's a bit overpriced. You can get the same products from this farm in other stores twice cheaper. However, it is a nice place to hike, gorgeous nature!

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Hi Natasha, as some of our followers have already shared (thanks!), you are welcome to enjoy the property, but do so at your own risk. We don't maintain the grounds and trails during the winter season. And due to covid, all our buildings and barns are closed to the public (no bathrooms!). While you're here, you can also order our cheddar and chef-prepared meals curbside from our Farm Store!

Is a small dog (10lbs) in the backpack at all times allowed?

Nancy Chu-Widjaja | Sep 2, 2021
Shelburne Farms | Sep 2, 2021

Thanks so much for asking. To be as equitable as possible, we have to say "no" to all dogs. It gets a little confusing because you may see dogs here that are owned by staff or residents who live on the farm. Thanks for understanding.

Do you host are RVers like Boondockers Welcome and Harvest Host do? I would love to visit and not have to rush to find a place to park my rig overnight. Don't need hookups, just a place to park overnight. Thanks!

Laura Clingman | Sep 2, 2021
Holly Brough | Sep 2, 2021

While we welcome folks to enjoy our walking trails, I’m afraid we do not host RVers. Thanks for your inquiry and enjoy your travels!

Passing through on Saturday, May 25th. What do you recommend as best use of our time during our visit to Shelburne Farms?

Jerry Tidd | Sep 3, 2019
Shelburne Farms | Sep 3, 2019

Hi Jerry, A great place to start is with a Property Tour, which run @10:30, 12:30, and 2:30 daily. If you have children, or don't want to commit to a tour, then simply taking the shuttle wagon to the Farm Barn and enjoying the Children's Farmyard and observing cheesemaking might be the way to go. (Don't miss the short walk up Lone Tree Hill for some fabulous views.) If you want to sneak in a breakfast at the Inn, you can call ahead for reservations at 802-985-8498. Hope this helps! Look forward to welcoming you! -- Holly, Director of Communications
