It Takes a Village

New Village Farm is a diversified educational farm located in Shelburne, Vermont. The small raw milk cow and goat dairies, poultry operation, gardens, and wilderness areas form an extensive outdoor learning space where people of all ages are invited to actively participate.

​

A primary focus of ours is creating opportunities of participation and belonging for people, as well as fostering connections with earth, plants and animals. The farm hosts a Farm School, After School programming, Family Farming Time, summer camps, family workshops, & other year-round programming. The farm works to empower children and families to learn new skills, to take on responsibility and build community, to explore freedom in the outdoors, and to care for plants and animals. Our basic philosophy is that healthy lives and actions are founded in healthy relationships to ourselves, to each other, and to the natural world.

 

In addition to our programming, we have a farmstand, where we sell our products such as raw cow and goat’s milk, pastured chicken and eggs, and grass-fed beef. While we are not Certified Organic, we adhere to organic practices in our pastures and gardens.
