When en route to Twin Farms, there’s something about the moment you exit the highway: your pace softens to meet the winding backroads of Vermont’s Green Mountains. Whether you’re coming from a nearby town or leaving from a further afield, the final stretch into Barnard, Vermont is a winding invitation to breathe deeply, look closely and settle into something slower.
Getting Here…
Getting to Twin Farms is easier than you may think. If you choose to fly, you have several options, including Burlington (BTV), which is less than an hour and a half long and offers frequent flights, including direct routes from New York, Boston and D.C, amongst others. Or, if you prefer, fly into Boston (BOS), about two and a half hours away and easy to navigate with far more options for direct flights. Better yet, fly into Lebanon, New Hampshire, just 45 minutes away, and we will happily meet you on the ramp.
The Road to Barnard
After exiting the interstate, the roads fade into rolling hills and peaceful towns, lined with old stone walls and weathered barns. You’ll pass stretches of sugar maples, green meadows and forests that grow colorful in autumn or blanket with snow in the winter.
Drive past the dramatic Quechee Gorge, Vermont’s own “Little Grand Canyon” only 30 minutes away, and make time to explore Simon Pearce, a popular glassblowing studio and restaurant nestled above a beautiful waterfall. Trust us, it’s worth it. From there, your route may take you to the storybook village of Woodstock, where white steeples, covered bridges and charming boutiques invite you to pause along the way. If you really want to get to Twin Farms early, you can always sneak back out and make an afternoon of it.
Slow down and enjoy the journey, there’s always something to see. Keep your eyes out for cows lying in sunny pastures, antique tractors in tall grass, beautiful barns covered in wildflowers, locals waving and so much more.
Signs You’re Almost There
There are no major billboards or blinking lights to mark your arrival to Twin Farms, but you’ll know you’re getting close. Look for these familiar signs:
- We got this Vermont: seen on a general store, the cornerstone of Vermont’s experience

Welcome Home
Eventually, the road narrows, the tree line thickens and the quiet deepens. Then, you’ll see the gates of Twin Farms at the top of the ridge, like a secret you’ve just been let in on. Ah, the journey has just begun.
