Had a great time with the grandchildren seeing all the farm
Beautiful views!! The history and farmhouse were wonderful!!
I received a breakfast box from these folks as a gift and everything about it is lovely - the packaging, the cheese, the handwritten note... just a great job all around. Highly recommend!
Beautiful grounds with lovely views. Try the cookies from the bakery while you are there.
Best place in Vermont to walk, buy bread and cheese, and pet lambs.
Nice site to see. Wish we'd been there prior to covid, so we could have seen more activity and gone in the buildings.
Pro tip...Order farm fresh groceries and prepared dishes online then pick them up at their curbside shop AFTER you go for a run, hike, xcountry ski, snowshoe on the miles of beautiful trails and paths throughout this working farm.
A very nice place to be with the children, unfortunately because of the corona virus everything closed but we could walk.
Beautiful grounds to take a stroll. Make sure you go up to Lone Tree Hill as that's where you get a beautiful view of the lake.
Beautiful place to visit. Great for kids as there is a petting zoo, cheese tasting. They have a food cart which had a few snack options which was nice too. You could also stay at their Inn which will let you take your car into the farms. If you are an external visitor you will need to use their shuttle service.
It was great, Bruce (in the wood shop) took time to share with me some of his techniques
Excellent place for a short hike. Farm is very well maintained. Fall foliage is awesome
An amazing place to visit with wonderful staff, great hiking trails and delicious food. We would definitely come back and visit again and again!
Beautifully maintained, stunning views and nice hikes.
Very interactive farm with cheese making, animals to pet and presentations on the herbal and edible gardens. LOTS of walking stroller safe, kid friendly- even/groomed trails. Make reservations in advanced for breakfast at the hotel/lodge on the lake. Pricy but a beautiful historic dining room of a mansion- open with french doors to flowing lawns and walk down to the lake. Serves specialty alcoholic drinks. All food locally sourced, mostly grown on the farm. Probably the best part if the visit- reservations required!
Great education, activities all day every half hour. Lots of hiking and wildlife. Stellar staff, that was knowledgeable and devoted to sharing their experiences.
Great farm, excellent cheese, nice tour of the farm bakery and cheese making . Nice giftshop
Beautiful place, but no toilet facilities. We had to cut our vist short.
The Harvest of September 2019 was very disappointing. The hay maze was missing again and this was the sole reason from bringing kids to the event. This year all that was offered was the same daily offering that Shelburne offers on a daily basis plus a bunch of over priced food vendors. For instance, an apple with caramel was $5. And sugar cotton ball was more expensive than what you would get at the champlain valley fair. Very likely not going again.
One of the best places in Vermont! A must if you are in the Burlington area. Lots of beautiful scenery. A great way to teach kids and family about the importance of agriculture. Be sure to check out the Inn and the Bakery if you do visit Shelburne Farms!
One of my favorite places in the state. The walking trails are well maintained, and the views are gorgeous. The old barn, Inn, and coach house are remarkable set into the rolling hills of the property. During the off-season, you can bring your dog's hear, and do some snowshoeing too. Great year round entertainment
Pretty, don t go after 1pm everything is closed even though they are open till 5. Not as much to see as I thought disappointed.
Terrible service. We were wrongly informed at the kiosk, and most of the staff were unhelpful and rude. If you are willing to walk or get crushed in a tractor in hot, humid, weather, visit shelbourne. On top of all of this, there is no view of the lake.
Grab a coffee and croissant and go for a nice walk. Turkeys may follow!
Wow! Dining in history. Come hungry for dinner. Food was amazing, but try get there before dark so you can enjoy the sights and not rely on headlights to read direction signs. A must stop if you are in the Burlington area.
Got there early to beat the educational group crowd. Extremely tranquil, animals are very used to people and friendly and approachable. Facilities were very clean, staff was very nice. All around a great experience!
Beautiful open space. Maple syrup was delicious and sheep were cute! We only did the small trail around the sheep farm so not sure if there was more to explore! This is a locals favorite
Uniquely Vermont institution with multiple venues. Great with kids on a gorgeous day.
Beautiful place, with friendly staff. Great time for children and adults.
What a disappointment. We spent $24 to go on a tractor ride. Nothing was opened at the barn except for the few animals to pet.
Wonderful place for anyone. Animals, cheese tasting and the views from everywhere.
The grounds are breathtaking! Food was pretty good, I had rolled oat risotto that was amazing.
Shelburne Farms is magical. First of all, it's pretty cheap to get in. It's less than $10 per person to spend an entire day here. Once you get your ticket, you can walk to the farm or get transported by a tractor. Since the property is HUGE, I'd wait to be transported. Once you're at the massive historic farm that looks more like a castle, you'll be entertained for hours. They have chickens, rabbits, cows, donkeys, horses, sheep...so many animals that you can pet. They have programming throughout the day. Our daughter loved the chicken egg hunting! There's a farm-to-table food truck there every day serving burgers, sandwiches, etc. In the back of the property is the inn, which is beautiful. There's a general store at the entrance/exit that sells jams, honey, and cheese. THE CHEESE! It is AMAZING! Eat all the free samples plus more.
Great place for the young or old. Many nice surprises.
Fascinating farm, has a small shop with cheese and jam tasting, a tractor that gives you a tour of the farm, and a bakery with breads worth trying.
Great intro into the grand property of the "gentleman" farmer late 1800s. Working dairy, nonprofit educational mission. Great for young and old.
Perfect spot for photography besides its amazing beauty
Very interesting- kiddie animal section was really cute!
Great place to visit for a casual walk or hike, take in a quick healthy bite as well as visit some of the awesome exhibits.
Great to walk to see inn and lake. The farm is great learning experience with hands on animals for children. I take my grandkids to this place every time they come to visit.
Beautiful farm with cattle, walking trails, a farm store and more! We didn't get to see too much but look forward to future visits!
Great farm run by very kind people. Great place to bring the kids. They have cows, sheep, chickens, and other animals to interact with. My son got to milk a cow. Def worth the visit.
Nice. All closed. You can do pick-up and walk the farm. Nothing open. No restrooms open.
The corn bread at the food truck there is amazing. You must get some.
This was an amazing trip for not too much. My daughter is only 18 months but there were tons of things she could do and she had a great time with the animals!
Gorgeous property with incredible views! If you are.new to Vt or just visiting you MUST visit Shelburne farms and see the WHOLE property! It's magical to say the least!
A beautiful property with lots to see and do. This is a great place to take a walk or hike one the many trails. Views of the lake from the ornamental gardens are great and their is wonderful food at the bakery and farm store.
Wonderful service and food quality is superb. Seated outdoors in a well appointed tent (indoor is avail). definitely recommend!
Absolutley incredible! Amazing, dedicated staff and breathtaking facility!
Shelburne farms is one of the most incredible places I have EVER visited. From the Inn to the education to the dining it is all just unbelievable to take it all in.
Amazing walks breathtaking views of the mountains and Lake Champlain.
Very friendly staff, an amazing place for young kids. Lots of animals - sheep, chickens, turkey, rabbit and few more. We saw cow milking, which was a new experience. Cheese factory tour was knowledge
A slight rain in the morning meant a small group. The farm crew made us feel like VIPs. Our child was engaged and learning. We were, too. Turned out to be the best choice to go despite the drizzle.
Lots of space to walk and pet friendly path is 4.5 miles between sites, generous presentations with courteous staff and nice selections.
Beautiful hiking trails through fields, woods, and beside the bay.
I absolutely love this place. The trails are amazing to walk, the food at the inn is delicious, and the environment at the farm barn is so fun. I have taken a number of out of town family members here and frequently take my 3 year old and he doesn't seem to get tired of it. There is also food at the farmbarn, the bakery is good, though sometimes the bottoms of the cookies get a little burnt, and the farm cart is tasty though expensive. There are amazing places to plan to have a picnic all over the property.
Family oriented place, great service, courteous personnel, take the trolley ride to walk you through the farm, received good information on how cheese, bread and other goods are manufactured, do not miss the boutique at the entry for cheese, farm products or souvenirs can be bought, big free parking lot available,all personnel is very friendly,
Fantastic experience every time we go. Such a wondergul place.
Beautiful farm, good for walking and buying fresh veggies, cheese, maple syrup
Such a beautiful place. A gem in my own backyard! Would definitely visit again.
beautiful for a late October hike! lots of trails --walking along the lake, shaded forests and rolling fields with sheep. the historic and cultural landmarks scattered along the way add to the enjoyment.
Enlightening and beautiful farm provides a broad experience in ethical farming practices and the many wholesome aspects of Vermont.
My whole life I didn't know that farms were real. Until last week when I went here and saw disgusting one would be in real life. If you care about what is good, never go here.
A beautiful farm to admire the splendor of Vermont landscapes and beautiful milk cows. We also learn how to make cheese. The shop offers excellent samples of all the cheese produced on the farm.
I love Shelburne Farms. I worked a season here. Great cheese, farm fresh vegetables and creative cuisine. Original farm to table.
These guys don't put a foot wrong set in 1400 acres of woodlands, immaculately maintained, a working farm where you can get up close to the animals (including miniature donkeys!), bakery, cheesemaking. Even the food from the on-site food truck was delicious.
Our kids had such a fun day there and learned so much. Seeing all the animals, holding chickens, milking cows, seeing cheese get made. It was so much fun.
Well worth the general entry fee. The staff are all clearly happy with what they do and willing to answer any questions visitors have.
A wonderful experience. Visit the site, take a tour or stay overnight. Beautiful manor house overlooking the Adirondack mountains of New York across Lake Champlain. I have stayed in the manor house and cabins. Both great accommodations. Food and service are excellent.
Fantastic walking trails. Views of Green Mountains, Adirondacks and Lake. Loads of activities for the whole family.
Absolutely a must-visit place in Vermont. Family-friendly with logs of activities to try: milking a cow, petting sheep, cheese-making tours, wine & cheese pairing, shopping their lovely products- jams, maple syrup, trinkets, souvenirs. Its picturesque farm-estate.
A peaceful, fun, beautiful place. Great for kids, lots of animals, cheese, and a great bakery!
