Shelburne Farms was created in 1886 by William Seward and Lila Vanderbilt Webb as a model agricultural

woodlands received Green Certification from the Forest Stewardship Council in 1998.  Our grass-based dairy 
supports a herd of 125 purebred, registered Brown Swiss cows. Their milk is transformed into our 
award-winning farmhouse cheddar cheese right here on the property  The tour will take approximately 
1-1/2 hours and we will see an actual working farm which consists of 1,400 acres on Lake Champlain.  
It is a National historic landmark.  A step on guide - Dorothy Holly - will enter the bus and give us a 
guided tour.  We will first stop at the Inn and tour the gardens, then on the farm barn, the cheese making 
facility and education center where we will have a cheese tasting and the last stop will be the breeding
