Shelburne is a town of working farms. Many of them sell from their own places all week — farm stands, pick-your-own fields, sugarhouses, farm stores. There are at least a dozen distinct farm retail stops in and around town.
This is the driving tour, with a map and a seasonal guide. For the alphabetical directory of Shelburne's farms with awards and history, see Farms & Orchards.
