We completed demolition of derelict/unsafe structures; buried project infrastructure; built walkways, planted grass, installed lighting, and established Farmhouse Square as a beautiful public venue. We completed the second of a three-year program to convert the vast majority of our farm fields to organic status. We completed Act 250 Vermont state permitting allowing the further renovation of all structures in the historic farmstead and their ultimate repurposing as home to land-inspired, community advancing activity. We added three key members to our staff to further Retreat Farms programmatic development. 314534 89852 We opened the 2017 program in our newly renovated space in the Calf Barn. During the family season, we welcomed 11,944 adults and children to program that was developing in real time, a 33% increase over the prior year. In addition, we served nearly 40 schools and organizations within an hour radius. These include preschools, daycare centers, public and private schools, group homes, special needs schools, and trauma centers. This year, we worked with the Vermont Association of Business, Industry, and Rehabilitation (VABIR) to employ young Vermonters with special needs. We continued our investment in workforce development and leadership training for local youth in partnership with the Vermont Youth Conservation Corps (VYCC), and partnered with Bonnyvale Environmental Education Center (BEEC) to offer a week-long summer camp and monthly after-school nature program serving young people from a range of socioeconomic backgrounds. 730954 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false true 10 0 true 15 true false false false false false false false false false false false false X 3 2 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 350 LINDEN STREET BRATTLEBORO VT 05301 ARTHUR SCHMIDT President 1.00 0.00 X X 5769 0 0 DANIEL DEMPSEY Chairman 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 MICHAEL SANDS Treasurer 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 5769 0 false false false HODGKINS & SONS PO BOX 268 BELLOWS FALLS VT 05101 CONTRACTORS 372649 VHB 101 WALNUT STREET WATERTOWN MA 02471 ENGINEERING 192455 CHRISTOPHER PARKER 4657 COOLIDGE HIGHWAY GUILFORD VT 05301 BLDG & RESTORATION 168350 3 504836 504836 ADMISSION FEE 713990 52674 52674 Membership Dues & Assessments 9935 9935 OTHER PROGRAM REVENUE 1450 1450 64059 685 685 0 0 0 0 3256 3256 3256 0 27600 27364 236 236 0 573072 54124 14112 0 0 0 0 5769 5769 0 380323 341308 39015 0 28438 28123 315 35837 32215 3622 0 1782 1782 4698 4698 0 0 0 20921 9300 8456 3165 0 18702 14580 4122 0 0 0 3728 3558 170 0 0 0 0 80012 80012 46904 45368 1536 EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMMING 40700 40700 REPAIRS & MAINTENANCE 37541 37541 PROPERTY TAXES 29258 29258 LICENSE AND PERMITS 21868 21868 50491 41354 9137 806972 730954 72853 3165 2847598 927838 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 4736839 110668 2914416 4626171 0 0 0 0 29060 0 5791074 5554009 10544 1229 10544 1229 X 5780530 5552780 5780530 5552780 5791074 5554009 -233900 6150 X X false true X false false X 1001000 5426100 504836 6931936 0 0 1001000 5426100 504836 6931936 0 6931936 241 613 685 1539 0 3492 3492 6936967 X 0.00000 RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 977050 977050 2327499 67303 2260196 395517 8065 387452 59961 9692 50269 976812 25608 951204 4626171 573072 573072 573072 806972 806972 806972 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.
