Vermont Female Farmers is an exhibition of 45 photographs by JuanCarlos González on display in Billings Farm’s Historic Barn from August 19 – October 31. NOTE: The exhibition will be closed for a private event on Friday, Sept. 22 and Saturday, Sept. 23.
This project focuses on the meaningful and impactful contributions that female farmers are making to the State’s culture, identity, and economy. From 2020-2022, González visited and documented 38 farmers, photographing them at work during their daily life on the farm, capturing their livelihood, labor, and passion.
The exhibition title, Vermont Female Farmers, evokes each of the three elements portrayed in each photograph. González created stunning portraits of women who work in the farm industry. Each image captures the act of farming, including the products or animals that are produced on each farm. All are set against a backdrop of the wild and varied beauty of Vermont’s land and rolling hills. Within these incredible compositions, each image provides insight into the unique story behind the farms and spotlights the underrepresented voices of women in agriculture.
In conjunction with the exhibition, González brings together the photographs, stories, histories, and insights into each farm in a beautiful coffee-table book. The book is featured for sale in the Billings Farm Gift Shop along with specialty items from many of the farms.

Delightful Dairy

Learn about all things dairy! Students will meet one of our Jersey cows and see how she is milked. We will also meet the farm’s calves, and talk about the life cycle of our dairy cows. From farm to table, we will travel full circle, ending with an interactive butter-making demonstration.
