We came upon this farm practically by accident. The kind host at the Welcome station offered that we go around the grounds by car to see the buildings and the best view of Lake Champlain. The grounds are a gem and the buildings of incredible beauty and historical value. Because we were there in March, we didn't actually get to... More

This is a local education center in food and agriculture demonstration. In winter the hiking trails are beautiful, not too strenuous for older people and children, and we are allowed to bring our dogs there. In the summer, there are many activities, from chicken growing, small and large livestock, a bread company with the best bread in Vermont: O'Bread, and... More

About once a year, we pretend we're rich and dine at Shelburne Farms. We dress up a bit, come early to enjoy Manhattans on the Patio or down by the shore, and after dinner we play some pocket billiards or, if we have a crazy uncle who plays the piano, the piano lounge. Much of the food is produced right... More

I live locally, and visit here frequently in the summer. There is no more beautiful spot in Chittenden County. The Inn is spectacular, and the breakfasts are a special treat. The grounds are full of history, as is the Inn itself. If you visit in May, take advantage of the Mother's Day tour of all the rooms at the Inn.... More

My husband and I walked our daughter in her stroller and dog over to the lake. Very scenic and easy walk. The path is flat with gravel and small rocks, so a little bumpy ride for our daughter, but she loved it!

Shelburne Farms is a place to make time for... at least three hours, so you can walk the trails, visit the extra ordinary farm, which houses a woodworking shop, a bakery, a cheese making facility, and of course, a place for farm animals. There are miles of gorgeous walking trails, and for those unable to walk on their own, there... More

We reserve this for special occasions, birthdays, anniversaries etc., but it should really be enjoyed a few times each season at the minimum. Arrive at least an hour before your reservation, get a specialty cocktail and stroll the grounds. Nothing is more relaxing than an evening spent at The Inn at Shelburne Farms. the food is ultra-fresh, in season, local... More

We were a family group of 10 there for Sunday supper. Half of us returned our veal as it was so tough it could not be eaten. the pork was very fatty and only one other offering was on the bill of fare - beans. It was expensive and disappointing.

Fabulous staff, great mission, lots of animals to pet and chase, and a whole room full of farm-inspired toys. And you get to ride in a cart behind a tractor to get to the barns. What's not to love? Know that it's all open to the outside, so if it's chilly dress warmly.
