Jenne Farm is a farm located in Reading, Vermont, United States.[1] It is one of the most photographed farms in the world, especially in autumn. The farm has appeared in magazine covers, photography books and several Budweiser television advertisements; it has also served as a setting in the films Forrest Gump and Funny Farm.[2] Photographs of the farm have appeared on posters, postcards and wall calendars.[3]
Despite its fame, the private farm is located along a dirt road and is not heavily promoted. The only sign indicating its presence is a tiny board along Vermont Route 106 advertising maple syrup.[4]
The farm became noted for photogenic scenery around 1955, when a photography school in South Woodstock discovered it.[4] Later, it appeared as an entry in a Life photography contest, on the cover of Yankee magazine and in Vermont Life.[2]
As a result of being overrun by tourists trespassing on the farm, the town has closed the road leading to the farm to non-local traffic.[5]
