Vermont Grand View Farm

Seasonal Activities on the farm include:

• Winter – Enjoy Vermont’s beautiful winter through guided snowshoe walks in the woods, dinner by the woodstove, and helping to care for our sheep and chickens. Trips to town offer antiquing and sampling some of Vermont’s best chef owned restaurants. Come stay with us the first half of December, and we will share our favorite place to choose and cut your own Vermont Christmas tree.
• Spring – March brings shearing time for the sheep, as well as sugaring season and the start to lambing time. Help us tap trees and boil sap in our small “sugar house,” and then go home with some of our own Vermont maple syrup. By late March, we are on “barn duty” round the clock, watching for new lambs to be delivered. Some guests have had the joy of watching lambs being born. By April and May, all lambs are born and bounce around the barnyard. In the spring, planting in our greenhouse, and spring chores are our priority.
• Summer – June marches in summertime with endless garden chores and moving sheep to pasture. Bonfires at night, star gazing, wood walks, barbecue dinners, pizza from our wood-fired oven, all delight our guests. By July, wild raspberries are ready for picking, and our hay gets delivered. I offer fiber art classes to our guests in the summer months teaching them about felting, spinning, and using plants as natural dyes.
• Fall – Autumn color is glorious across the mountains in the fall. Photographers love visiting to take pictures and to feast upon the orange, yellow, and red. Mid September brings local fairs and festivals. Garden harvesting is our priority and getting ready for the long winter.
