Retreat Farm unveils new community spaces
The Farm Market and North Barn are designed to support connection and commerce for the region’s agricultural, tourist, and creative economies
BRATTLEBORO-At its annual Farm Festival on June 15, the Retreat Farm unveiled its new North Barn and Retreat Farm Market - two additions to the agricultural complex designed to foster economic and community growth by offering platforms for local businesses, entertainment, and community-centered programming throughout the year.
The Farm Market building, funded by a $3 million Senate appropriation secured by retired Vermont Sen. Patrick Leahy, involved acquiring and renovating the former Grafton Village Cheese Company facility.
