Shelburne Farms Boo! If you see this black cat around the Farm Barn, her name is Fanta. She's our resident Halloween spook, and if you're not careful, she may jump in your car.
Shelburne Farms We didn't make it into this video. But be inspired nonetheless.

On 24 October, people in 181 countries came together to speak with one voice on the most urgent issue of our times: the climate crisis. Through http://www.350.org, people in every corner of the planet coordinated the most widespread day of environmental action in the planet's history. ...
Shelburne Farms Remember Gorgon & Zola, Lemongrass & Sassafrass? Well, three of the goat twins were adopted last week by a family in Panton, VT. We kept Zola (a doe), but she's apparently a bit lonely now, because she's following people around. She even visited our offices a moment ago. So if you come for a visit, you may be shadowed!
Shelburne Farms Today the Children's Farmyard folks are transforming the farmyard into winter quarters for the sheep. It's quite a project every year. They remove all the pens and build a temporary wall.
Shelburne Farms Enjoy our October e-newsletter: "Pizza, Solar Panels, & Barn Chores." And enjoy your weekend.

Shelburne Farms Beautiful new Rock Garden at Lawrence Barnes Sustainability Academy in Burlington was badly vandalized over the weekend. All plants pulled up and rock wall pulled down. Ugh. What does it take to build community? They're looking for replacement plants to beautify for next few weeks.
Shelburne Farms Here's something new: Shires Pete and Jaguar pulled the Farm's cart to and from the Shelburne Farmers Market on Saturday. Cathy Wells owns the team. Our Farmyard apprentice Evan was at the reins.
Shelburne Farms This weekend: Orienteering on Saturday (walkins welcome). Clinics start at 9 am; ($10 or $12 for parent & child). Sunday is Tractor Day! 10 am -3 pm. Free with admission to property. Have a great fall weekend.
Shelburne Farms Just going through summer camp photos. (Remember summer?) Any positive ID's on this lovely critter?

Our three-year cheddar is distinct and complex. A delicious treat with a delicate crumbly texture, full of grassy, nutty and pineapple flavor notes. (Premium Aged)Available in limited supply.
Shelburne Farms Our girls (human & bovine) are back from the Big E Fair with lots of ribbons in New England Brown Swiss competition: 1st place Spring Calf, 1st place Spring Yearling, Herdsmanship... It's a great way to end the fair season!
Shelburne Farms Worm feeding! Susie's feeding them lunch scraps from field trips, plus hay and old newspaper. Yum? The worms are mostly used for education, and their "vermi-compost" goes back into our gardens.
