Gather your friends and family for a fun-filled July 4th on the Farm!

Celebrate America’s 250th birthday with horse-drawn wagon rides, ice cream-making, live music, lemonade tastings, and historic “base ball.”

Step back in time for a lively game of historic “base ball,” played by 1860 rules, complete with wood shaving baselines, straw-stuffed canvas bases, ash bat reproductions, and barehanded play. Join a team or cheer from the bleachers for this classic American pastime!

Stroll the Farmstead Gardens, including the Victory Garden inspired by WWII-era efforts to encourage home gardening so food processing plants could support the war efforts.

Be sure to stop by the Farmhouse Scoop Shop for Vermont-made ice cream and snacks, the perfect summer treat!

"Billings Farm combines the history of Vermont Farming with live farm animals. It is great place to visit with kids to learn about farm life. It doesn't hurt that there are plenty of animals for kids to see and touch.

Be sure to check the daily schedule of activities. You can milk a cow, tour the gardens, check out the chickens and more. There are also regularly scheduled special events throughout the year.

There is a great museum store with lots of kids farming toys, books and more. Adjacent to the 1980's Farm House you will find the Dairy Bar offers ice cream and other snacks.

Worth noting, Billings is so close to the town of Woodstock you can easily visit both in one day. There are lots of shops and restaurants in town."
