Proudly owned by a nonprofit educational organization, Shelburne Farms is a 1,400-acre working farm that actively works to educate the public about sustainable farming practices and food systems. The Visitor Center and Farm Store are open year-round, but the best time to visit is between the middle of May and the middle of October when the Farm Barn is open. Visitors can take a guided tour of the property in an open-air wagon, but families will particularly love the Children's Farmyard, where kids can learn about farm life by participating in activities like cow milking, donkey grooming, and gardening.
