About the Program:

Shelburne Farms is an education center, 1,400-acre working farm, and National Historic Landmark. We offer daily field trips for school children (pre-K - 6th grade), throughout the academic year, as well as summer camps for youth ages 4-17, summer "Stewards-in-Training" opportunities for teens, and college and post-college internships and apprenticeships, based either in our education department or at our 7-acre Market Garden.

We also are partners in Vermont FEED (see separate listing), which works with schools and communities to raise awareness about healthy food, the role of Vermont farms and farmers, and good nutrition.
