About Forest Echo
Farm
Forest Echo Farm was
founded in 1969 by several families to provide a preserved family
retreat. Over the decades other
families have joined in conserving and enjoying this Vermont property.
Forest Echo Farm is
dedicated to the simple life. No power lines cross our property, no
electricity reaches our cabins. We have no blaring televisions to distract
us from the sound of the wind in the leaves, no telephones to call us back to
the whirl of modern life. But that does not mean we are without any of the
comforts of civilization.
Each cabin has hot and cold running water, a gas stove for cooking, gas
lights and even a propane-powered refrigerator. The cabins are rustic, but
clean and airy. The luxuries at Forest Echo Farm are not inside the cabins;
they are found in the light that fills the forest in late afternoon, the
silence of an evening canoe on Tiny Pond and the moonlit sparkle of
dewdrops at midnight. Forest Echo Farm includes almost 500 acres, extensive
shore to a 26 acre protected pond, numerous trails, and ½ a mountain top.
Forest Echo Farm is a community, with a unique history. We are dedicated
to preserving our land, maintaining a balance between our human presence
and the natural character of each tree and mountain stream. Through the Vermont Land Trust, we have set aside 80% of
our land to ensure that it will never be developed. The farm also belongs
to the Green Mountain Bear Corridor
, the Environmental Quality Incentive Program
and the Wildlife Habitat Incentive Program. We have cooperative relationships with Farm & Wilderness summer camps, the Ninevah Foundation, and the Catamount Trail Association.
