This is a great place for a hike, a picnic, a property tour, or just to run around with the animals in the Farmyard(kids and parents get to experience it together). My family loves coming here on a regular basis. There is over a thousand acres to explore and awesome views of the lake and the NY ADK mountains. We... more

There isn't a whole lot to do here, especially for adults or older children. My kids loved petting the chickens but my husband and I were constantly looking at our watches. There are free samples of their cheese but if you want a more thorough tour you have to pay for it. There seems to be a lot of people... more

My wife was so disappointed with the size of her pasta portion that she spoke with the unsymphathetic restauraurant manger who offered no satisfaction. My chiken breast dinner with wax beans was tasty but the portions... more

The day we went, they were urging people to walk to the main farm building. It's an OK walk, about 15 minutes...but it's just pretty much a field. The main barn site... more

I stopped at Shelburne Farms on my way to Rutland for a conference so I had like 1/2 day to see what I could and I was there the last day it was open for the season I think it was October 31st. I loved the gift shop-still buy the cheese and maple syrup. Saw the cows. Since I'm in... more
