We decided to walk, and while the walk is excellent, there are so many walking trails (miles of them) that you have to decide which will be best. We did not want to wait for the next tour, so we went it alone, and I wish we had just waited. The tour is 1.5 hours, you get a tour guide,... More

The farm had not officially opened yet but the grounds were lovely to hike around going from the gift shop to Lake Champlaign. If you are a rock skipper, the rocks along the Shelburne Farm shoreline are the best. More

I know of no more memorable and glorious place to have breakfast than at Shelburne Farms, overlooking Lake Champlain. A night at the inn is wonderful too for the person who values charm, history and beauty over a modern bathroom and air conditioning. This is a setting where family memories are made and special times are shared inside and out... More

I've only been on the tour once before of the farm and property, but I have gone to the Shelburne store several times. Their cheese is so great, we always stock up whenever we go with plenty of cheese although it is a bit pricy. Tractor cheese is the best here, they also have jams and sausages. The tour of... More

Huge and fascinating barns and farm buildings. Heirloom breeds of farm animals (horses, cattle, sheep), working dairy and bakery with great cheeses and breads. Great place to picnic or walk through acres of forests and pastures. Occasional venue for food festivals and other get togethers. A wonder lodge (for paying guests), on the shores of Lake Champlain.

Just the views alone, of the Lake, make this a worthwhile destination. They also have a very decent working farm. More
