With community gatherings and our education programs on hold due to COVID, we transformed the farm into a free family experience and added a labyrinth-shaped garden, a poetry trail, and a living amphitheater sculpted into the hillside. Retreat Farm also served as a fiscal sponsor and partner to the SUSU commUNITY Farm and the Atowi Project. 293386 86047 Food, Family, and Education - We significantly improved our ability to fight food insecurity and improve the local food system in 2020. We expanded our food production capabilities and grew over 10,000 lbs of vegetables that were donated through various channels. We launched the Community Food Project that supplied over 600 at-risk families and senior citizens with over 1,400 grocery bags with eggs, vegetables, fruit, and healthy staples. We also researched the opportunity to establish a regional food processing, preparation, and delivery center at the Farm. 288964 526395 Restoration and Conservation - We restored the facade of the Ox Barn, built a new trail connector and several new pathways in the Meadows, installed over 300 new wooden trail signs throughout the farm and trail system, and added interpretive signage about the history of the Farm. Our project to interpret the history of the farm, Landstory, received a planning grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities. 171651 1085259 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false true 11 0 true 26 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 8 8 false false false false false false false true false false false true true true true true true false false false X X ARTHUR SCHMIDT 8024902270 45 FARMHOUSE SQUARE BRATTLEBORO VT 05301 X ARTHUR SCHMIDT President 40.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 DANIEL DEMPSEY Chairman 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 MIKE SANDS Treasurer 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 STEPHANIE BONIN Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 VERN GRUBINGER Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 SARA NEWMARK Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 WILLIAM RANSOM Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 GREG WATSON Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 0 false false false 0 169615 1742238 1911853 ADMISSION FEE 713990 4536 4536 Membership Dues & Assessments 2085 2085 OTHER PROGRAM REVENUE 811 811 7432 2511 2511 0 0 0 0 67605 67605 67605 0 10242 2450 7792 7792 0 1997193 5347 79993 0 0 0 0 0 0 732067 633081 13024 85962 0 17715 12846 2619 2250 56743 40900 6233 9610 0 0 0 0 0 0 85265 28000 56365 900 0 29531 7297 20331 1903 0 0 68441 54269 14172 4110 1661 2199 250 0 0 0 0 118384 118384 0 DIRECT PROGRAM EXPENSES 95736 95080 66 590 GENERAL MAINTENANCE AND SUPPLI 67254 62445 4809 MISCELLANEOUS EXPENSE 33556 13041 16327 4188 MARKETING 23814 18255 3160 2399 0 1332616 1085259 139305 108052 146358 220160 692256 1201999 0 523 0 0 0 500 0 5123517 450440 4669138 4673077 0 0 0 0 40590 122931 5548342 6219190 8434 46837 8434 46837 X 5489948 5415771 49960 756582 5539908 6172353 5548342 6219190 X 664577 -32132 X false true X false false X 29060 4836 253923 288512 620548 1196879 0 0 29060 4836 253923 288512 620548 1196879 290555 906324 613 685 444 2239 2511 6492 0 3492 31630 9764 44886 1248257 0.72610 0.72170 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 977050 977050 2466845 249373 2217472 421165 38784 382381 137447 37989 99458 1121010 124294 996716 4673077 1997193 1997193 1997193 1332616 1332616 1332616 false VARIOUS FUNDRAISERS 67605 67605 67605 67605 67605 Form 990, Part III, Line 4d: Other Program Services Description OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 4: MISCELLANEOUS PROGRAMS Form 990, Part VI, Line 11b: Form 990 Review Process A COPY OF THE FORM 990 IS DISTRIBUTED TO BOARD MEMBERS AND REVIEWED BEFORE FILING.
