We're experimenting with how biochar--a carbon-rich product made from the controlled burning of biomass--might fit into our climate action plan and also benefit other areas of our farming system. 

We boiled our first maple syrup this year on February 5th–the earliest date in memory. Is this climate change at work? We look at our data.

Shelburne Farms has set a goal to achieve net zero by 2028. How do you go about tackling a goal like that? Our Climate Action Advisor, Connor Stedman, shares his thoughts.

UVM student and farmyard educator Catherine Ziac tackles the question of how animal enrichment might affect the welfare of our education animals and their human interactions.

Educators, including Shelburne Farms staff, from these two very different places are, in fact, partners in place-based research and shared learning.

The Farm's long-term effort to provide for embattled little brown bats (but keep them out of the Inn!) is bearing fruit — and bats!
