— Year on the Farm
Four seasons.
One quiet place.
Dec — Mar
Winter
Snow softens the barn roofs and the woods turn quiet. Vermont becomes its most cinematic self.
- Skiing & riding at Okemo and Killington
- Snow-covered barns, woodstoves lit by 4pm
- Après ski dinners at the long farmhouse table
- Star-clear skies, frozen ponds, hot baths
Apr — May
Spring
Vermont's softest season. Rain on the barn roofs, the first green of the year, the slow reset.
- The thaw of the lake and the meadows
- Sugarhouses and maple still in the air
- Long mornings, books, fewer people
- Quiet hikes as the trails reopen
Jun — Aug
Summer
Echo Lake mornings. Open fields. Dinners that begin in golden light and end with fireflies.
- Paddleboarding & swimming on Echo Lake
- Long outdoor tables in the meadow
- Wildflower walks and orchard visits
- Star-watching from the upper field
Sep — Nov
Fall
Foliage at the doorstep. The kind of light photographers travel for. Vermont at its most mythic.
- Peak foliage drives through Plymouth
- Apple orchards, pumpkins, harvest dinners
- Cool fires, wool blankets, slow mornings
- Misty hikes, golden afternoons
