About Retreat Farm

Retreat Farm is a non-profit center for land-based education, recreation, and farming - where people connect to the land and each other. Founded in 1837, the Farm historically provided the food, fuel, and outdoor therapies for the Brattleboro Retreat. Today the Farm is comprised of 500 acres of farmlands, forest, and wetlands, and is the heart of the nine-mile Retreat Trails network.
Retreat Farm is home to the Children’s Farm & Forest, a farm-based educational experience whose mission is to instill a love of the natural world through farming, play, and hands-on exploration. Your Farm to Ballet tickets will directly benefit the Open Barn program, which provides reduced admission and memberships to families that participate in EBT, Medicaid, or Free/Reduced School Lunch programs. This is a popular new program designed to keep our educational resources accessible to everyone in our community.
