Spring takes its time here in Vermont. After months of snow-covered fields and quiet woods, the landscape slowly begins to wake up again. But when it does, it feels worth every bit of the wait.

For me, the moment Twin Farms truly feels back is when the lupine begin to bloom. The meadows shift almost overnight into shades of purple, pink and soft blue. After a winter with plenty of snow, the greens return especially bright, some almost neon against the countryside. Every year, it stops me in my tracks.

There is a feeling that arrives with the season too. A mix of hope and joy that seems to ripple across the property. You feel it with our guests, our team, our neighbors and partners. The Farm comes alive again.

I always look forward to seeing what our culinary team creates this time of year. New ingredients bring new energy into the kitchen and onto the table. Spring in Vermont is fleeting in the best possible way, and our chefs embrace every part of it. At the same time, the property itself begins its transformation. During our closure, the team works incredibly hard refreshing every detail so that when guests return, everything feels renewed while still familiar.

One of my favorite places this season is the walk across the covered bridge toward the Bridge House. I usually pause over Turtle Pond for a moment. This time of year, it feels busiest there, changing by the minute with wildlife, movement and color.

As we welcome guests back this season, our focus remains the same as it always has been: remembering our “why.” Creating a place where people can truly relax, reconnect and leave the noise of everyday life behind.

We are also excited to continue expanding our arts programming and teaching kitchen, creating even more opportunities for guests to experience Twin Farms in new ways.

Most of all, I hope guests feel welcomed the moment they arrive. Invited to exhale, settle in and leave the rest to us.

Warmly,

John Graham, General Manager
