The Retreat Farm is a historic farm and nonprofit center that focuses on conservation, education, recreation, and sustainable enterprise for the community. The Farm is an authentic reflection of the rural way of life in Vermont, and offers hands-on farming experiences for the whole family, including petting goats, playing with chicks, feeding sheep and playing in the corn.

The petting farm allows children to interact with a variety of animals and learn more about life on a farm while a gift shop offers an array of souvenirs to take away. The Retreat Farm is also home to one of the five trailheads that make up the nine-mile Retreat Trails recreation network, which is open year-round for hikers, bikers, horseback riders and skiers.
