Farm-to-Table Excellence in Two Distinctive Settings.
Our location in Vermont lets us source ingredients at the peak of their flavor. Butter and cheese from local dairies. Beef, chicken, and pork from nearby farms. Herbs, vegetables, and fruits that flourish in the warm Vermont sun. We supplement that bounty with produce fresh from our own gardens, syrup from our maples, and honey from our hives. The resulting dishes sing with the season — elevated by the creativity and technique of our culinary artisans.
“Since beginning at Twin Farms three seasons ago, I have slowly been working toward parallelling our systems with those of natural cycles in order to grow the most flavorful and nutrient-dense food for our kitchen.”
- Emma Bartlett

Nathan Rich serves as both Executive Chef of Twin Farms and Culinary Director of Tanzerra Resorts. Chef Nathan has been celebrated for his innovative culinary style and his extensive experience in luxury hospitality. Recognized as one of only three chefs to receive the Relais & Châteaux 2013 Rising Chef Trophy, Chef Nathan oversees a culinary program at Twin Farms that emphasizes unforgettable dining experiences and uses locally sourced and naturally grown ingredients that reflect the changing seasons.

Born and raised in the French Alps, Sylvain Courbet joined the team at Twin Farms in 2013. Entrenched in the world of culinary arts from a young age (Courbet’s father was also a professional chef), it was only a matter of time before Courbet left his first post as the Twin Farms daytime dishwasher to join the establishment’s distinguished culinary team. Under the mentorship of Chef Nathan Rich and Chef Chris Wilson, in conjunction with what he had learnt from his father over the years, Courbet demonstrated a natural ability in the kitchen.
The vibrant agricultural scene and cheese making tradition of rural Vermont, reminiscent of Courbet’s hometown in the Alps, and Twin Farms’s dedication to supporting local produce and grass-fed meats, are all passions of Chef Courbet. His professional experience is augmented by the six years that he spent travelling the world as a teacher and a chef, working in Ireland, China, Australia, and New Zealand. Chef Courbet is the Chef de Cuisine at Twin Farms, a Forbes 5-Star Hotel, Relais & Chateaux Member, and winner of the 2019 Forbes 5-Star Travel Guide Hotel of the Year.

My name is Emma, and I manage the vegetable gardens and animals here at Twin Farms. I grew up working in dairy, but after studying Ecological Agriculture at the University of Vermont, my interest began to shift more toward integrated plant and animal systems. Since beginning at Twin Farms three seasons ago, I have slowly been working toward parallelling our systems with those of natural cycles in order to grow the most flavorful and nutrient-dense food for our kitchen.
