Shelburne Farms is a mid-sized nonprofit based in Shelburne, Vermont, that combines a 1,400-acre working farm with a National Historic Landmark on the shores of Lake Champlain. It advances education for sustainability and farm-to-school initiatives through programs and partnerships that link classroom learning with hands-on farming. The organization coordinates a range of efforts, including the Sustainable Schools Project, its partnership in Vermont FEED, and leadership roles within national networks focused on farm-to-school and farm-based education. Its audience includes educators, schools, and communities seeking sustainable learning opportunities, with activity that extends from Vermont to national and international contexts. A notable recent development is Shelburne Farms hosting a roundtable with state agencies to advance the nascent biochar industry in New England and New York.
