Shelburne Farms 2025 Annual Financial Report

Page 1


Dear Friends of Shelburne Farms,

After a busy year of construction, rehabilitation of the Coach Barn was substantially completed last fall. We have opened its doors again as our environmentally designed and accessible center for learning and convening. This is another big milestone in the life of Shelburne Farms.

This project has been in the works since the founding of the nonprofit in 1972 with the dream of turning Shelburne Farms into an educational resource. And it couldn’t have happened without the support of our community and without you, and every donor over all those years.

The adaptive reuse of the Coach Barn as the new home for the Shelburne Farms Institute for Sustainable Schools embodies so much of who we are and what we do. To inspire learning for a sustainable future, we are using this beautiful working farm and the historic buildings here in innovative ways as educational resources to cultivate positive change in the world.

Our impact is steadily growing. We’re proud that two of our collaborative projects were featured in books published by the United Nations University in 2025. Both projects support students in making positive, real-world change in their local communities (see p. 4).

This past year, we also permanently conserved Windmill Hill, a beautiful and agriculturally important area in the heart of Shelburne Farms. Completing this project safeguards some of the farm’s most productive soils and exceptional views, and extends our trail network. The land is open for walking and greatly enhances the farm’s integrity and agricultural, ecological, and educational potential now and into the future.

We steward Shelburne Farms’ financial resources the way we steward our farm: for a sustainable future. So we are pleased to share this financial report with you, along with our continued deep gratitude for your faith in our work, and your generous support that makes it all possible.

Sincerely,

Shelburne Farms Directors Sharmy Altshuler, Bob Baird, Fred Bay, Ted Castle, Ben Freeman (chair), Allison Hooper, Willard Jackson, Nan Jenks-Jay+, Stephen Johnson, David Marvin+, Andrew Meyer+, Ernie Pomerleau, Gretchen Sullivan Sorin, Landon Storrs, Marie Vea, Alec Webb (president), Kate Williams

Gratitude

We are deeply grateful to every individual, family, foundation, government agency, and business for gifts of every amount that keep Shelburne Farms going. We also wouldn’t be here without the long-time support of the Town of Shelburne. If you are a new supporter, we hope you are at the beginning of a life-long relationship with us. Please let us know if we have misspelled or omitted your name(s) in these listings. Thank you!

Shelburne Farms Legacy Circle

We recognize and celebrate all who have included Shelburne Farms in their estate plans. The Legacy Circle honors the vision of Derick Webb, whose bequest in 1984 gifted the property to the education nonprofit. His was the first of many generous legacy gifts for which we are deeply grateful. If you have included Shelburne Farms in your estate plans, or would like information about doing so, we would love to hear from you and add you as a Legacy Circle member.

Welcoming & Sharing

For the fifth year, the farm remained open by donation, welcoming more than 125,000 people. Program highlights included hosting the 25th anniversary of the Earth Charter in September at the Breeding Barn, welcoming families to events like maple open house, sheep shearing, and dairy day, and opening new trails along Windmill Hill; all for people to connect with farming, the land, and each other.

Inspiring Learning

This year, two of our education programs were featured in United Nations University books. Cultivating Pathways to Sustainability (in partnership with UP for Learning), inspires youth-adult teams to tackle community actions to address the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals. The second project, Burlington City & Lake Semester, offers high school students real-world learning in their community and is a collaboration with the Burlington School District.

We recognize the following for their exceptional support for growing our programs and improving our campus.

Progressing on Net Zero

Since 2022, we've reduced greenhouse gas emissions by 25% from 2019 baseline.

That brings us within sight of our Net Zero goal by 2028.

We continue our work to bring our greenhouse gas emissions in balance with carbon stored in our forest and fields. This work includes upgrades like the Coach Barn’s geothermal heating/cooling system, a revised forestry plan, and electrification. And we’re sharing our climate journey: We hosted our first Marshall Webb Climate Action Talk with Dan Reicher (top right).

Volunteers & Staff

The work of Shelburne Farms would not be possible without the dedication and talents of our volunteers and staff—those who spend a season, and those who are with us year-round. Their contributions are countless. “I always like to say that Shelburne Farms runs on love,” says Executive Vice President Megan Camp. “That’s never more obvious than when I spend time with tour guides, event volunteers, or our amazing staff. Shelburne Farms is lucky. And we are so grateful to each and every one of them.”
