Each portrait is intentionally crafted by local artists to connect viewers with climate farmers.  The artwork\, along with educational panels and quotes from artists and farmers\, help convey both the problems and solutions that climate change presents and provides an important platform for raising awareness. \nThe exhibition will continue outdoors where guests will find examples of approaches to improve climate resiliency at Billings Farm.  A few of the methods include rotational grazing of the dairy herd\, solar panel usage\, low or no-till fields with organic-only fertilizers. \nThis collaboration between Vital Communities and Billings Farm & Museum provides accessible ways for individuals to take meaningful action to help farms address climate change. \nTo learn more about the Vital Communities Climate Farmers Stories Project\, visit vitalcommunities.org/climate-farmer-stories. \n \nFind resources and more information about the Exhibition. \n\n\n \n \n \n \n\n \n Explore three stunning gardens in sites across Woodstock.

Each portrait is intentionally crafted by local artists to connect viewers with climate farmers.  The artwork\, along with educational panels and quotes from artists and farmers\, help convey both the problems and solutions that climate change presents and provides an important platform for raising awareness. \nThe exhibition will continue outdoors where guests will find examples of approaches to improve climate resiliency at Billings Farm.  A few of the methods include rotational grazing of the dairy herd\, solar panel usage\, low or no-till fields with organic-only fertilizers. \nThis collaboration between Vital Communities and Billings Farm & Museum provides accessible ways for individuals to take meaningful action to help farms address climate change. \nTo learn more about the Vital Communities Climate Farmers Stories Project\, visit vitalcommunities.org/climate-farmer-stories. \n\n\n \n \n \n \n\n \n Explore three stunning gardens in sites across Woodstock.

Guests can wander through the picturesque farm and take in the boldly painted patterns that will adorn historic barns and buildings. \nThis exhibition is included with admission. \n\n\n \n \n \n \n\n \n Explore three stunning gardens in sites across Woodstock.

Each portrait is intentionally crafted by local artists to connect viewers with climate farmers.  The artwork\, along with educational panels and quotes from artists and farmers\, help convey both the problems and solutions that climate change presents and provides an important platform for raising awareness. \nThe exhibition will continue outdoors where guests will find examples of approaches to improve climate resiliency at Billings Farm.  A few of the methods include rotational grazing of the dairy herd\, solar panel usage\, low or no-till fields with organic-only fertilizers. \nThis collaboration between Vital Communities and Billings Farm & Museum provides accessible ways for individuals to take meaningful action to help farms address climate change. \nTo learn more about the Vital Communities Climate Farmers Stories Project\, visit vitalcommunities.org/climate-farmer-stories. \n \nFind resources and more information about the Exhibition. \n\n\n \n \n \n \n\n \n Explore three stunning gardens in sites across Woodstock.

Each portrait is intentionally crafted by local artists to connect viewers with climate farmers.  The artwork\, along with educational panels and quotes from artists and farmers\, help convey both the problems and solutions that climate change presents and provides an important platform for raising awareness. \nThe exhibition will continue outdoors where guests will find examples of approaches to improve climate resiliency at Billings Farm.  A few of the methods include rotational grazing of the dairy herd\, solar panel usage\, low or no-till fields with organic-only fertilizers. \nThis collaboration between Vital Communities and Billings Farm & Museum provides accessible ways for individuals to take meaningful action to help farms address climate change. \nTo learn more about the Vital Communities Climate Farmers Stories Project\, visit vitalcommunities.org/climate-farmer-stories. \n \nFind resources and more information about the Exhibition. \n\n\n \n \n \n \n\n \n Explore three stunning gardens in sites across Woodstock.

Each portrait is intentionally crafted by local artists to connect viewers with climate farmers.  The artwork\, along with educational panels and quotes from artists and farmers\, help convey both the problems and solutions that climate change presents and provides an important platform for raising awareness. \nThe exhibition will continue outdoors where guests will find examples of approaches to improve climate resiliency at Billings Farm.  A few of the methods include rotational grazing of the dairy herd\, solar panel usage\, low or no-till fields with organic-only fertilizers. \nThis collaboration between Vital Communities and Billings Farm & Museum provides accessible ways for individuals to take meaningful action to help farms address climate change. \nTo learn more about the Vital Communities Climate Farmers Stories Project\, visit vitalcommunities.org/climate-farmer-stories. \n \nFind resources and more information about the Exhibition. \n\n\n \n \n \n \n\n \n Explore three stunning gardens in sites across Woodstock. Discover the shared story between Billings Farm & Museum\, the Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park\, and the Woodstock Inn & Resort’s Kelly Way Gardens. As part of the Woodstock Foundation\, each site will also be honoring the legacy of Laurance S. Rockefeller\, a visionary whose passion for conservation\, sustainability\, and heritage has left a profound and lasting impact on Woodstock.
