Shelburne Farms is a membership-supported, nonprofit environmental education
center and National Historic Landmark on the shores of Lake Champlain in
Shelburne, Vermont. Our mission is to cultivate a conservation ethic in
students, educators and families who come here to learn. Casual visitors may
enjoy the walking trails, children’s farmyard, inn, restaurant, property tours
and special events. To pursue our mission, we practice rural land uses that are
environmentally, economically and culturally sustainable.
Shelburne Farms was
created as a model agricultural estate in 1886 by William Seward and Lila
Vanderbilt Webb. In 1972, it became an educational nonprofit. Our nearly 400
acres of woodlands are Green Certified from the Forest Stewardship Council. Our
grass-based dairy has 125 purebred, registered Brown Swiss cows. Their milk is
transformed into our award-winning farmhouse cheddar cheese here on the
property.
