🎃 Happy Halloween from all of us at Clermont Farm!
Whether your day is filled with costumes, candy, pumpkin carving, or a few good ghost stories, we hope you have a wonderful Halloween!
And remember, when you're surrounded by more than 250 years of history, there's always a little room for mystery. 👻🍂

🍂 If these old walls could talk, imagine the stories they could tell...

With over 250 years of history, Clermont has certainly seen its share of changing seasons, fascinating characters, and perhaps a mystery or two.

As Halloween approaches, we can't help but wonder what stories are still waiting to be discovered. 👻

After all, every old house has a story...

Curious to hear a few of Clermont's? Join us for our next Historic House Tour on Saturday, November 21st, at 1:30 PM. Come explore the house, discover its fascinating past, and hear some of the stories that have shaped Clermont over the centuries.

🎟️ $10 per person | Children under 10 are free.

🐾 Happy National Cat Day from Clermont Farm! 🐈❤️

Meet Cleo, one of Clermont's most beloved residents and quite possibly the one who has life figured out better than the rest of us!

By night, she's a farm cat, exploring the grounds, keeping an eye on things, and enjoying everything farm life has to offer.

But when she's ready for a little relaxation? It's straight to the office, where a cozy bed, plenty of attention, and absolutely no responsibilities await. 😂

Cleo comes and goes as she pleases, has everyone wrapped around her little paws, and somehow manages to make every day look like a vacation.

We may take care of the farm, but we're pretty sure Cleo thinks it all belongs to her. ❤️

Happy National Cat Day to our sweet Cleo!

🐑🎨 A Little Art, a Little History, and Some Farm Inspiration!

Looking for something fun and a little different to do this Saturday?

We're excited to welcome Paula Roberts of Dip Into Art, LLC back to Clermont Farm on Saturday, October 24th, from 2–4 PM for a special afternoon of painting inspired by the sheep here at Clermont! ❤️

This isn't your typical painting class! You'll use acrylic paints, palette knives, and modeling paste to create a charming mother-and-lamb painting, adding texture and dimension to bring your artwork to life.

And here's something that makes this workshop extra special — the painting is inspired by an actual photograph taken right here at Clermont Farm!

Never painted before? No worries! Paula will guide you through the entire process, your canvas will already be outlined, and all materials are included. Just come ready to have a little fun and get creative!

📅 Saturday, October 24th
🕑 2:00–4:00 PM
📍 Historic Clermont Farmhouse, Berryville
🎟️ $45 per person — all supplies included!

A portion of the proceeds supports the Clermont Farm Foundation and our work in preservation, conservation, agriculture, and education.

Space is limited, and Saturday is just around the corner! We'd love to see you for a little fall creativity at Clermont! 🍂

Another successful round of Triangle Days is in the books! 🍂

We were so happy to welcome Clarke County's 4th graders back to Clermont Farm this year for two days of learning, exploring, and a little hands-on history!

Our young visitors got to step into the world of archaeology and historic preservation, discovering how we uncover clues from the past and why it's so important to protect the history around us. 🏡🔎

There were lots of curious minds, great questions, and plenty of enthusiasm along the way!

A big thank you to everyone who helped make these two days possible. We always love having the next generation of history lovers out at Clermont! ❤️

🍂 Clermont FarmFest: Take 2! 🚜🍁

We know how many of you were looking forward to Sunday's Native Plant Sale & FarmFest, and believe us, we were just as disappointed to cancel due to the hurricane rain! So much work and excitement went into this year's event, and we truly hated not being able to share it with you.

After careful consideration, we've made the difficult decision that we simply can't recreate our Native Plant Sale this year.

But we aren't quite ready to let fall at Clermont pass us by! ❤️

We still want to welcome our community and share some of the experiences we were so excited to offer!

This Saturday, October 17th, we're opening our gates from 11 AM–3:30 PM for a little FarmFest fun!

🚜 11:30 AM – Wagon Ride

🏡 1:30 PM – Historic Tour of Clermont

🚜 2:30 PM – Wagon Ride

🍎 Hot apple c***r and 🎃 pumpkins will also be available while supplies last!

Our wagon rides were making their debut this year, and we heard from so many of you who couldn't wait to explore more of Clermont's working farm. We didn't want you to miss out!

❤️ Everything will be offered by donation!

Our Native Plant Sale & FarmFest is our largest event of the year, and the support it brings makes a tremendous difference for Clermont. Losing it was a tough blow, but we're hoping to turn that disappointment into a beautiful fall afternoon with our community.

Heading to Lucketts Fall Market at the Fairgrounds? We're just down the road at the other end of Main Street! Stop by afterward!

As Bob Stieg, CEO of The Clermont Foundation, put it:

"No big festival, no elaborate plans. Just Clermont in her fall beauty, a little history, a wagon ride through the farm, and a chance to spend some time together." 🍁

📅 Saturday, October 17th | 11 AM–3:30 PM

📍 151 Clermont Ln., Berryville, VA 22611

We hope you'll bring the family and let us share a little piece of Clermont with you. ❤️
