Learning on the Farm

Education is central to our approach to farming, and we strive to create space for people of all ages and stages to engage in immersive, meaningful experiences on our farm and the surrounding land. 

Summer Camp

Camp Bread & Butter is a week-long journey through the worlds of farming, cooking, outdoor survival skills, crafts, archery, and epic group games guided by a talented and supportive farm and wilderness education team. On this beautiful land between the Green and Adirondack mountains, campers ages 5-12 learn through farm chores, guilds, and games, the joys of participating in the outside world. Through the magic and fun of summer on the farm, we work together to illuminate the connections between land, plants, animals and people that nurture healthy communities. 

Village School 

Village School invites kids to explore our farm and forests every Wednesday, Thursday or Friday during the school year, all day long. During Village School, kids sink into the rhythm of farm life while exploring over 600 acres of forest, fields, pastures, savannas, and marshes in Shelburne, VT. We welcome children Grades 2 - 8.

Farmer Training

As farmers with a background in teaching, we make a place for people of all ages to continue to engage and learn on our farm. For older students and adults, this often takes place through our partnerships with outside programs, including the University of Vermont's Farmer Training Program.
