Farm sights in Vermont

  1. A

    Shelburne Farms

    You can get a taste of Vermont farm life at this classic 1400-acre farm laid out by Frederick Law Olmsted, America's premier 19th-century landscape architect. Try your hand at milking a cow, feed the chickens, or hike the extensive nature trails through pastures and along Lake Champlain.

    Robb Family Farm

    The 400-acre Robb Family Farm has been run by the same family for about a century. Maple-sugaring demonstrations take place from late February to early April. There are fun hay or sleigh rides ($7/5 per adult/child, $30 minimum spend required, reservations essential), which usually end with a marshmallow roast. The farm is located west of I-91 on VT 9; take a left on Greenleaf St (which becomes Ames Hill Rd), head 3 miles and look to the right.
