Shelburne Farms Wow!

Snuck out for a quick weekend in Vermont recently and discovered Shelburne Farms!

This National Historic Landmark was owned by the Vanderbilt family during The Gilded Age and is now a working 1,400 acre farm and environmental education center.

So much fun to discover new farms when you travel!

Packing days are organized, fun, chaos…we have 10+ people in the barn all being busy bees…moving produce, packing produce, palleting boxes, stacking and unloading and loading and then it all comes together and peace reigns once again and we feel very accomplished about doing an honest days work.
