Retreat Farm

Three dancers in carrot costumes, two orange and one red, face the audience with their hands on their hips. The smiling audience watches while seated on the grass in front of a green tent in front of a red barn that fills the background.

A child with long brown hair and a floral dress raises both hands around her head and dances, imitating a ballerina as she watches the show. Around her other audience members sit on blankets and lawn chairs looking transfixed by the performance.

A mom and dad in summer clothes sit on a striped blanket while their two daughters stand behind the mom. The dad is gesturing to the smaller girl, who is holding a colorful object. Behind them are two lawn chairs, trees and a big blue sky with clouds.

"Retreat Farm seeks to foster a just, healthy, and sustainable community in southern Vermont. We utilize our unique property, programs, and partnerships to connect people to the land and to one another, recognizing that the relationship between humans and the land is the foundation of our health, sustenance, and inspiration. Located on traditional Abenaki homelands in Brattleboro, Vermont, Retreat Farm encompasses over 500 acres of conserved forests, farmlands, trails, and waterways. Its historic Farmstead sits at the confluence of the West and Connecticut Rivers surrounded by wooded hills and rich farmland, cared for by its indigenous inhabitants for countless generations."

WHERE: 45 Farmhouse Square, Brattleboro, VT 05301

SEATING: Please bring your own picnic blankets or lawn chairs for seating on the grass. The front area of the lawn closest to the stage will be for blanket seating, with an area for lawn chairs further back. There is limited shade, so please prepare accordingly.

FOOD ON-SITE:
Bring your appetite for tasty local vendors serving a variety of cuisines from their food trucks. Specific food trucks to be announced so stay tuned!

EXTRA ACTIVITIES:
While at Retreat Farm, visit the animals on pasture, explore the Forest Playground, and wind your way through the Hope Garden and other trails.

A large crowd of people are hanging out in the central green space among the red barns of the farm. They are eating food from food trucks, some of which are barely visible through the people. Red umbrellas and picnic tables dot the crowd.

All proceeds from Retreat Farm's share of ticket sales will go toward supporting local food trucks using local food at a lower rate so that low income families can afford to come to the farm's Food Truck Roundup Event where families can come together for delicious food, lawn games, and live music.

This season we are offering multiple ticket price options in line with our values of affordability and art for all. You choose which ticket price works best for you.
Adults: $35/$20
