Formal public engagement largely curtailed during the height of the pandemic, returned this year and we served the community as a vibrant venue - hosting summer camps, education programs, and community gatherings and providing over 90 guided tours of the property. Retreat Farm also served as a fiscal sponsor for SUSU commUNITY Farm and the Atowi Project. 629379 Food, Family, and Education - We expanded our programming to fight food insecurity and improve the local food system in 2021. We launched a Pay What You Can Farmstand and Free CSA, growing 60+ varieties of vegetables totaling over 11,000 pounds and serving 713 families. We also received a congressional award of $3M to establish a regional food center at the Farm. 376197 Restoration and Conservation - We transferred over 100 of the 650 acres we steward to a conservation management plan to support a healthy forest ecosystem and provide recreational resources to the community. We expanded our partnership with Edible Brattleboro, providing a long-term home for their community greenhouse. We launched an extensive volunteer program and hosted the first Community Trail Day to support the maintenance of the trails and manage invasive vegetation and completed mapping of cultural interpretive points on the Hogle Trail with a grant from the National Parks Service. 1654524 true true false false false false false false false false true false false true true false false true false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false true 22 0 true 56 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 8 8 false false false false false false false true false false false true true true true true true false false false X X ARTHUR SCHMIDT 8024902270 45 FARMHOUSE SQUARE BRATTLEBORO VT 05301 X ARTHUR SCHMIDT President 40.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 DANIEL DEMPSEY Vice President 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 MIKE SANDS Treasurer 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 STEPHANIE BONIN Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 VERN GRUBINGER Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 SARA NEWMARK Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 WILLIAM RANSOM Secretary 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 GREG WATSON Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 0 false false false 0 140305 2931591 3071896 PROGRAM REVENUE 1088 1088 1088 1535 1535 0 0 135748 135748 135748 135748 0 165711 165711 55403 0 80042 53253 26789 26789 0 3402767 1088 219475 0 0 0 0 0 0 1198302 890086 183460 124756 0 16532 12584 1500 2448 94625 76471 9574 8580 0 0 0 0 0 0 132982 67473 65509 0 51360 13411 32032 5917 0 0 165115 101228 63887 24265 18690 5236 339 0 0 0 0 125564 120164 5400 400 400 DIRECT PROGRAM EXPENSES 194889 194889 GENERAL MAINTENANCE AND SUPPLI 124938 120940 3998 MISCELLANEOUS EXPENSE 42624 38588 3413 623 MARKETING 33939 11481 22458 0 2205535 1654524 385890 165121 220160 708720 1201999 1768709 0 523 57082 0 0 0 500 12003 0 5197674 576004 4673077 4621670 0 0 0 0 122931 1053742 6219190 8221926 46837 102341 750000 46837 852341 X 5415771 5587914 756582 1781671 6172353 7369585 6219190 8221926 1197232 X false true X false false X 4836 253923 288512 620548 2031681 3199500 0 0 4836 253923 288512 620548 2031681 3199500 297709 2901791 685 444 2239 2511 1535 7414 0 3492 31630 9764 811 136836 182533 3389447 1088 0.85610 0.72610 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 977050 977050 2473825 310972 2162853 462429 49909 412520 152560 54604 97956 1131810 160519 971291 4621670 Construction in Progress 302932 OPTION 750000 OTHER ASSET 810 1053742 CONTRACT LIABILITY 750000 750000 3402767 3402767 3402767 2205535 2205535 2205535 false EDUCATION PROGRAM 55403 55403 SPONSORSHIP 49750 49750 3 56308 56308 161461 161461 161461 Form 990, Part VI, Line 11b: Form 990 Review Process A COPY OF THE FORM 990 IS DISTRIBUTED TO BOARD MEMBERS AND REVIEWED BEFORE FILING.
