fertile Champlain Valley with a series of hills and ridges overlooking the great
Lake Champlain. Charlotte, with its 3500 residents, hosts a large network of
working farms and forests that are flourishing from the productive Champlain
Valley soils. Sugarbushes, orchards, dairies, berry farms, a winery, market
gardens, livestock operations, honey houses, grain and community supported
agriculture are just some of Charlotte's flourishing enterprises. These lands
also provide many of the vast scenic landscapes, community trails, Charlotte
Park and Wildlife Refuge, and the famous Mt. Philo State Park — all halfway
between Middlebury and Burlington, Vermont.

livestock and the maple groves that give us beautiful colors in the Fall and sap
in the Spring for making maple syrup.

and Otter Creeks. Ferrisburgh enjoys the longest shoreline frontage of any
Vermont town bordering Lake Champlain, 21 miles.
Founded in 1762, Ferrisburgh has a rich history, which is celebrated in our
nationally renowned museums, the Lake Champlain Maritime Museum and the Rokeby
Museum. Many of the earliest European settlers still have descendants living and
working in town or in neighboring communities.
