Had a super time walking around Shelburne Farms' beautiful immense grounds and also perusing their…read moremarket store with its assortment of products straight from their working farm - from fresh cheese, meats and baked goods to furniture, wool yarns and sheep skins. The grounds go down to Lake Champlain, including where the adjacent Inn and Flower Garden are. Some of the walking paths criss-cross the maple syrup tapping lines. Fun to see and pet their cows plus the big Farm Barn, where the independent organic O Bread Bakery* and Beeken/Parsons furniture maker both operate. (* See separate review.) Although our visit was on an early December Sunday, there's apparently more going on from Spring on and over Summer. Would recommend stopping by Shelburne Farms any time, especially great for kids!

First time visitor to Vermont and we stopped here on our way to Burlington - and it was totally…read moreworth it! We spent half a day and could easily have spent the full day. Highly recommend the 1.5 hour around the Fields - very informative history about the area and property, gorgeous fields to traverse, a nice barn with animals at the end, and some delightful cheddar cheese made at the Farms. They also have a nice bakery (got fresh bread there for lunch to go with the cheddar) and syrups/jams/goods from local farms.

We went for lunch and it was amazing. Super casual (order at the counter and get a # to bring to…read moreyour table) but superb quality-- food and ambiance. The place is very beautiful-- rustic dining room with art, antique pottery and fresh floral arrangements. Pine cone wreaths. Wax dipped daffodil chains hanging from a beam. Great view out onto the pergola'd terrace and the pasture beyond. You have to get your cutlery from a tray but it's heavy flatware and there are cloth napkins as well as heavy paper ones. Food arrived on beautiful pottery plates and looked instagram-worthy, but the tastes! Simple preparations but sooo delicious. The red cabbage salad was studded with toasted hazelnuts and fresh tarragon, and was dressed with a subtly sweet and spicy vinaigrette. Great combination. Sorrel leaves added punch to a spinach salad with pepitas and buttermilk dressing. The goat cheese toast was creamy and decadent, topped with preserved cherry tomatoes and a very fresh salsa verde. We loved everything so much we browsed the market store and left with a bag of local goodies to elevate our meals at home. Loved the whole experience.

I'm not sure if they are offering any tours (as mentioned from a review a few years back) but would definitely love to get a glimpse of how they work if it is available for the future.

This place is perfect for families too, the children can visit the petting zoo where the pigs, donkeys, goats roam free in the fences. You can actually walk into their gates and play with them. We loved meeting the baby goat, Loco and her mother Coco! The pigs love their belly rubs and will fall over when scratching them! It's very cute. Many of the things to do here are free so great value! They sell local apples, gifts and fun things in their gift shop too. Supporting the local farms in town is great for the community here.
