There is something about this land — hundreds of acres of Vermont countryside, softened by meadow and mountain forest — that has always drawn storytellers in.
Long before Twin Farms, this property held a different kind of draw. Writers gathered here. Thinkers settled in. Ideas took shape over long evenings by the fire, across candlelit tables, beneath stars unhurried by any city glow. The hills around Barnard have a way of quieting the noise just enough for the real conversation to begin.
We’ve never forgotten that. And this season, we’re honoring it.
Off Script: The Authors Series
Twin Farms has long been home to extraordinary writers and thinkers. The Off Script Authors Series honors that tradition — and extends it. The setting is intimate, always inspiring, thought-provoking, and a true opportunity to meaningfully connect.
The Off Script Authors Series is exactly that: a gathering place for remarkable minds and curious guests, where the dialogue flows as naturally as the landscape that surrounds you. No panels. No podiums. Just an open afternoon and people worth talking to.
Each weekend brings a singular author into the fold, inviting guests to engage not just with their work, but with the person behind it. Mornings over farm breakfasts. Afternoons in the countryside. Evenings that linger.
