We believe this unique property has two vital functionsconnecting people to the land and connecting people to one another. As we restore the buildings and lands of the Farm, thousands of people are responding, visiting, getting involved and doing exactly what we hopedbuilding the intangible but invaluable connections that enrich their lives, the community, and the entire region. 50577 EVENTS - In total, over 25,000 people came to Retreat Farm in 2018 via a wide range of programs, events, celebrations, and field trips and made it the outdoor place to be in our region.

Other events, such as the Rotary Clubs auto-show, Harris Hill Ski Jump, Farm to Ballet, Winter Carnival, and our own Harvest Fest, each drew thousands more to the property. 743939 true false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false true 10 0 true 30 true false false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false false false false false false X 4 4 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 MICHAEL SANDS Treasurer 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 STEPHANIE BONIN Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 0 false false false 0 1003923 1003923 ADMISSION FEE 713990 89853 89853 Membership Dues & Assessments 14988 14988 OTHER PROGRAM REVENUE 3908 3908 108749 444 444 0 0 10392 10392 10392 10392 0 14917 14917 14917 0 36156 29835 6321 6321 0 1144746 93761 47062 0 0 0 0 0 0 461034 433797 16792 10445 0 21219 7146 14073 36957 35401 1094 462 0 1460 1460 16023 16023 0 0 0 18702 4308 14394 0 16448 2949 13499 0 0 0 2978 1375 1603 0 0 0 0 107395 107395 55466 2610 52856 EDUCATION PROGRAM 48701 48137 564 REPAIRS & MAINTENANCE 46012 45910 102 SUPPLIES 27715 25790 1925 MARKETING 21987 16775 5212 67906 12346 54429 1131 950003 743939 194026 12038 927838 352087 665111 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 4879238 218063 4626171 4661175 0 0 0 0 69208 5554009 5747581 1229 58 1229 58 X 5552780 5747523 5552780 5747523 5554009 5747581 194743 X X false true X false false X 1001000 5426100 504836 1004938 7936874 0 0 1001000 5426100 504836 1004938 7936874 0 7936874 241 613 685 444 1983 0 3492 31630 35122 7973979 X 0.00000 977050 977050 2400268 126370 2273898 401864 17966 383898 69454 17743 51711 1030602 55984 974618 4661175 1144746 1144746 1144746 950003 950003 950003 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.
