DescriptionShelburne Farms is a nonprofit education organization, 1,400 acre working farm and National Historic Landmark. The Farm offers learning experiences and resources for educators, schools, children and families that connect people with nature and agriculture and inspire stewardship in their home communities. Shelburne Farms also collaborates extensively with other regional, national and international organizations to advance Education for Sustainability and serves as a catalyst and convener for strengthening local food, forestry and energy systems. In 2012 Shelburne Farms celebrated its 40th anniversary as a nonprofit organization and served over 149,000 program participants and visitors. This number was about 9,000 more than the previous year mostly due to an increase in visitors to the Children's Farmyard and in attendance at community gatherings, including anniversary events for the Vermont Natural Resources Council and Vermont Community Foundation, and the 3rd annual Vermont Cheesemakers Festival. Ongoing program outreach initiatives include Farm to School and food systems education, the Farm-Based Education Network, and regional and international Education for Sustainability learning communities. Through our partnership with the Burlington School District and Head Start we launched a preschool classroom at the Sustainability Academy at Lawrence Barnes School in the fall of 2012. The preschool extends the programming at the Academy, with a focus on school-readiness, literacy, food, nutrition and the natural world. The Sustainability Academy is the first elementary magnet school with a sustainability theme in the country. Another 2012 highlight was the Farm and VT FEED serving as the local host for the National Farm to Cafeteria Conference in Burlington. More than 800 food service, community organizers, farmers and food pioneers attended from all over the country. VT FEED is a partnership of Shelburne Farms, NOFA-VT and Food Works helping bring local, healthy foods to Vermont school children. Two thirds of Vermont's 320 elementary schools are now engaged in some sort of Farm to School programming, connecting students, local farms and communities to serve healthy meals in school cafeterias. On the Farm, special grants made possible continuing improvements at the market garden and dairy, a University of Vermont field trial investigating whether organic soil amendments can improve soil health and support more nutrient-dense forage production as way to reduce grain feeding, and additional significant campus improvements, including installation of life/safety improvements to convert an existing home into the Farms prototype residential learning center, renovation of a staff housing unit and continuing restoration of the Shelburne House formal gardens.Description
