Favorite Places On The Farm

We're excited to open for the 2025 season this weekend! To celebrate, we asked Shelburne Farms staff members to share their favorite places on our working farm campus.

Senator Patrick Leahy and Marcelle Pomerleau Leahy talk with Crossett Brook Middle School students during the Farm to School Project Share. Here they speak with students from the sustainability club and meet Molly the hen, part of the school's flock of chickens.
