Art on the Barns is an annual outdoor contemporary art exhibition that explores the connection between art, place, and history, inviting visitors to experience contemporary works within the rhythms of a working dairy farm. Thoughtfully placed on the historic barns, each piece interacts with its surroundings, evolving with the changing seasons. From budding trees in spring to the quiet stillness of winter, the artwork offers a dynamic and ever-shifting perspective.

Featuring Vermont artists Elise Whittemore and Will Gebhard in collaboration with Soapbox Arts, Art on the Barns creates a striking dialogue between tradition and modern creativity, ensuring a fresh and immersive experience with every visit.

Little Farm Hands is a playful, hands-on exhibit space designed for children ages 0–4 and their caregivers. While farms are full of big animals and big tools, this exhibit invites little hands to explore farm life in a way that’s just their size. In a warm and welcoming indoor setting, perfect for those unpredictable spring days, children can build a home for the chickens, sort eggs, or step into the role of a farmer at the farmstand. This touch-friendly exhibit connects children to agriculture in a way that sparks curiosity, builds confidence, and brings joy. Through interactive play, caregivers will find fun and meaningful ways to support their child’s growth and development.
