Farm Visits & Agritourism
Visiting farms, wineries, and vineyards -- sometimes called Agritourism -- is the pleasurable way to explore and enjoy authentic New England life and people, as well as a chance to taste the fruits of farm fields and orchards. Children love visiting dairy cows and other farm animals. Some farms also operate small lodgings and might even let you get your hands dirty helping with the daily tasks!

Liberty Hill Farm & Inn
511 Liberty Hill Road 802-767-3926At this farm inn, love of the land, and belief in sustainability, are shared with guests
At the Liberty Hill Farm & Inn, the top priority is to provide a fulfilling farm experience for every guest. And given the number of guests who return year after year, it’s a job well done. From fabulous home-cooked meals using fresh, local ingredients (sometimes picked by guests) to letting guests learn how to milk a cow, the farm promotes both healthy, sustainable living – and fun. The inn, a pioneer in the agritourism movement, supports the Keep Local Farms initiative and was Vermont’s first Green Agritourism Enterprise. The owners are members of the Cabot Creamery dairy co-op, where sustainability and innovation are key. Sharing the love of the land and farming is central to the inn, where guests can pick berries, hike through wildflower fields, swim, fish – and milk cows.
