A rotating collection of images highlighting 2024 Shelburne Farms successes, including 8,472 learners, 172,000 pounds of cheddar, 1,185 educators, and 200 trees planted

Some of our most important successes and impacts in 2024 can't be measured by traditional yardsticks: thousands of learner "a-ha!" moments, food systems strengthened, schools changed, experiences of restoration and renewal. Still, the numbers give you a sense of the scale and scope of all that you made possible.


See our 2024 impact by the numbers.

You Rose to the Challenge!


Thanks to many generous donors, we have exceeded our Campaign for Shelburne Farms goal and met the Robert W. Wilson Trust $5M Challenge for the Coach Barn rehabilitation project! We are incredibly grateful, and wanted to find the right way to uniquely say thank you from all of us at the farm, including from our animals 😉.
