The Farm offers learning experiences and resources for educators, schools, children and families that connect people with nature and agriculture and inspire stewardship in their home communities. The Farm collaborates extensively with other regional, national and international organizations to advance Education for Sustainability and serves as a catalyst and convener for strengthening local food, forestry and energy systems. In 2011 Shelburne Farms served over 138,000 program participants and visitors. This number was about 7,000 less than the previous year due to the discontinuation of the Vermont Mozart Festival. Ongoing program outreach initiatives include Farm to School and food systems education, the Farm-Based Education Association, regional and international Education for Sustainability learning communities, and a partnership with the Burlington School District and Sustainability Academy at Lawrence Barnes School. The Sustainability Academy is the first elementary magnet school with a sustainability theme in the country. One 2011 highlight was the 5th annual Farm-Based Education Conference held at the Coach Barn in November with over 240 attendees coming from as far away as California and Italy. FBEA is a network of farmers and educators dedicated to farm-based education and providing public access to working farms. Another highlight was completion of a two-year, CDC-funded project to share best practices among statewide partners to evaluate the impact of Farm to School programming on student food choice. Two thirds of Vermonts 320 elementary schools are now engaged in some sort of Farm to School programming, connecting students, local farms and communities to serve healthy meals in school cafeterias. One finding was that Vermont high school students eat more fresh fruits and vegetables than youth from most other states. This may be related to the fact that 79% of surveyed students reported that they have met a farmer in their area.On the Farm, special grants made possible infrastructure and composting system improvements at the market garden, a second solar photovoltaic installation on the Farm Barn roof, and other major campus improvements, including structural repairs of the Old Dairy Barn, continuing reconstruction at the Shelburne House gardens and construction of energy efficient farm employee housing. 3524022 true true false false false false false false false true true false false false 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 true false false false false true true true false false true 80 0 false 123 true true true false false false false false false false false false 0 false false false true false false false false false false false X 18 17 true false false false false false false true true false false false true true true true true true true true false false X TOM NOLD 8029850330 1611 HARBOR ROAD SHELBURNE VT 05482 HUB VOGELMANN 1.00 X 0 0 0 LOLA VAN WAGENEN 1.00 X 0 0 0 LISA STEELE 1.00 X 0 0 0 ERNIE POMERLEAU 1.00 X 0 0 0 ANDREW MAYER 1.00 X 0 0 0 STEVE JOHNSON 1.00 X 0 0 0 NAN JENKS JAY 1.00 X 0 0 0 DAVID HOLLENBECK 1.00 X 0 0 0 FRED BAY 1.00 X 0 0 0 BOB BAIRD 1.00 X 0 0 0 JULIA ALVAREZ 1.00 X 0 0 0 SHARMY ALTSHULER 1.00 X 0 0 0 WILL JACKSON 2.00 X 0 0 0 DAVID MARVIN 2.00 X 0 0 0 CHARLOTTE STETSON 2.00 X 0 0 0 CASEY MURROW 2.00 X 0 0 0 MARY JANE GENTRY 2.00 X 0 0 0 ALEXANDER S WEBB 60.00 X 110084 0 4578 110084 4578 1 false false false MIDDLEBURY SLATE COMPANY 1205 HAZENS NOTCH ROAD MONTGOMERY CENTER VT 05471 DAIRY HOUSE 112742 ISLAND EXCAVATING CORP PO BOX 153 GRAND ISLE VT 05458 GROUNDS WORK 139847 CG STONE INC PO BOX 1124 SARATOGA SPRINGS NY 12866 FORMAL GARDEN 115229 BUILDING ENERGY 1570 SOUTH BROWNELL ROAD WILLISTON VT 05495 SOLAR PANELS 105039 BIRDSEYE BUILDING COMPANY 3104 HUNTINGTON ROAD RICHMOND VT 05477 RENOVATIONS 393659 5 340287 2766757 238514 3107044 SCHOOL PROGRAMS 611600 246977 246977 PUBLIC PROGRAMS 611710 280748 280748 PROGRAM FACILITIES 900099 297225 297225 MILK AND LIVESTOCK 110000 228054 228054 1053004 87440 87440 0 0 308728 308728 0 1569788 36146 1581101 -11313 36146 24833 24833 60719 42347 18372 18372 0 0 0 4290693 1053004 130645 0 0 0 0 114662 47364 33649 33649 0 2179778 1893718 149998 136062 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 87325 87123 126 76 0 0 0 0 420113 411381 8732 0 Supplies 154590 52886 45392 56312 Repairs & Maint 321838 308505 4426 8907 Professional Services 509696 488509 21187 Less Art Show Expenses -39582 -39582 Fuel & Utilities 242030 234536 4324 3170 0 3990450 3524022 267834 198594 1812561 1391447 712853 444259 648311 312613 96474 129075 0 0 2190860 1933545 72571 144595 11346 9127 28649763 9370591 18275327 19279172 4715255 4812154 -677620 -519815 0 0 386140 514880 28244078 28451052 337846 269341 7907 2905 342372 354935 688125 627181 X 25754356 25875130 1493819 1647064 307778 301677 27555953 27823871 28244078 28451052 X 300243 -32325 X false true true X false false X 3387063 4544855 2561648 4639294 3107044 18239904 1221108 805316 857627 882598 1053004 4819653 0 0 0 4608171 5350171 3419275 5521892 4160048 23059557 725700 2805639 947085 2411024 884968 7774416 535793 535793 725700 2805639 947085 2411024 1420761 8310209 14749348 522839 478347 427572 411119 396168 2236045 0 522839 478347 427572 411119 396168 2236045 1 1 1 1 1 5 0 5131011 5828519 3846848 5933012 4556217 25295607 0.58310 0.59650 0.08840 0.09330 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 4462748 122160 11989 -169992 -27868 4399037 300942 4153842 193941 -163293 -22684 4462748 279997 1150 27184 -7389 300942 0.91370 0.06860 0.01770 true false false 797200 6713668 7510868 1744926 1280734 1775616 1250044 2046950 13432688 5613255 9866383 769934 1565990 1719754 616170 237600 60073 261966 35707 19279172 ACCRUED PAYROLL AND RELATED LIAB 354935 354935 Part XI, Line 8 Part XI, Line 8: Other Changes in Net Assets or Fund Balances SFI NET INCOME $36302 Part V, Line 4 Part V, Line 4: Intended uses of the endowment fund.
