Green Gem Yurt, Vermont

Trollhaugen Farm, purchased by my grandfather, David Gardner,
was named by my Norwegian mother, Helga, after the summer home of Edvard Grieg. I grew up here and love this place. My husband likes to say that three generations of Gardner women have overseen and reworked this place. Mine is a new chapter, as I am the first one farming with intensity. Hosting guests runs in my blood, as when I was a child, my mother ran a bed and breakfast out of our house. How many times did I have to give up my bed to someone else? Many times. But I loved the hustle and bustle of people coming and going, and the fine meals my mother made based on her knowledge of European cuisine. A lovely place, many people came back year after year and some even moved to Vermont after staying with us! Maybe you will too!

We offer a chance to participate in caring for the animals and learning about their funny habits during morning chores. This is a great activity for children and animal lovers alike. Visit the 40 sheep in the pasture, gather eggs from the chickens and learn about the social lives of ducks.
Hike the trails, swim in the brook, walk the beautiful dirt roads around us.
Take home a dozen farm fresh eggs when you leave Vermont.
