Barn Quilt Exhibition

Billings Farm & Museum is bringing the rural artistry of barn quilts to our scenic site from April 4 – December 1. Barn quilting recreates the concept of quilt squares on durable mediums such as plywood. These squares, starting at 4 feet by 4 feet and up, feature striking colors and simple geometric designs.
Collaborating with Vermont artists as well as artisans from the Chelsea Barn Quilt Project and Barn Quilts of Northern Vermont who have been working to highlight barn quilting in Vermont, each space will host a uniquely crafted piece inspired by nature, math, agriculture, and the history of the Billings Farm site. Guests can wander through the picturesque farm and take in the boldly painted patterns that will adorn historic barns and buildings.
This exhibition is included with admission.

Purchase Tickets
This rousing and uplifting documentary chronicles the struggles and triumphs of a politically and culturally diverse group of farmers, ranchers, scientists, and advocates who all share one thing in common: their belief in the practice of ecological farming to restore the soil. By using a fusion of ancient wisdom and modern technology, the farmers and ranchers in this movement make more money and grow more nutrient-dense food than their “conventional” farming counterparts. These “regenerative pioneers” argue that to save humanity from multiple imminent calamities, we must first save our soil.
Directed by eco-filmmaking duo, Josh Tickell and Rebecca Tickell, (Fuel, The Big Fix, Kiss the Ground), the film also features some of Hollywood’s most climate conscious stars, including Laura Dern, Jason Momoa, Rosario Dawson, Woody Harrelson, Ian Somerhalder, and Donald Glover.

Common Ground, is that rare documentary that actually proposes solutions…practical solutions.” –Film Threat

First time director Carla Gutiérrez uses Kahlo’s own words and artwork to craft a fitting tribute to the artist’s legacy. Focusing on both the persona and the artist, Gutiérrez creates an often-entrancing immersive experience that mixes Kahlo’s reenacted thoughts and recollections, with her paintings, archival footage, and personal photos. The filmmaker’s meticulous distillation of Kahlo’s creativity develops alongside a growing insight into the painter’s unforgettable personality and distinctive vision.

Not Now, Cow

by Tammi Sauer
Rooster and his farm friends are ready for springtime play. But not Cow, who can’t seem to dress for the weather. This tale brings laughter and learning as Cow wears mittens in spring, ski-pants and wool in summer, and a bathing suit and flip flops in winter. Children will learn about the ways to care for cows throughout the seasons and join the chorus of “Not NOW, Cow!” Following the story there will be farm sensory play and a snack. This session will include outside and barn time. Please come prepared in outdoor clothing.
