Jenne Farm, often called one of Vermont’s most-photographed, is off-limits to tourists this October.

The town of Reading, Vt., decided to close Jenne Road to all non-local traffic through the end of this month and recently added no-parking signs along the road, Gordy Eastman, the selectboard chair, told VtDigger.

The Jenne Farm, situated in the rural hills of Windsor County, has appeared in Budweiser commercials and the film “Forrest Gump.” A quick search of Instagram shows page after page of photos, especially during foliage season, featuring the property’s red barn, farmhouse and other structures. Grinning visitors in plaid and earth tones smile from the dirt road above the farm, while others appear to venture questionably onto the farm’s green hillside.

Earlier this autumn, nearby Pomfret decided to close the road to Sleepy Hollow Farm, another favorite destination for tourists seeking a fall-in-Vermont Instagram snapshot, in order to prevent excessive traffic jams and trespassing.

In Reading, the selectboard heard from Jenne Road residents last month asking for action to curb the number of peepers flocking to Jenne Farm. Quietly, the board decided to act.

“We’re getting a lot of negative comments from the residents up in that area,” said Eastman, the board chair. People had complained of cars blocking the road and even tourists walking into people’s homes to use the bathroom without permission, he noted.

“These people are coming in, and they’re kind of taking over,” Eastman said. “We’re trying to prevent a problem.”

The town had contacted the Windsor County Sheriff’s Department about its work policing Sleepy Hollow Farm, according to Eastman. The town decided not to spend any additional money to police the Jenne Farm, he said, but asked the department to occasionally check out the road as part of the department’s current 12-hour-per-week contract with Reading.

Chase Jenne, who lives a few miles from his family’s farm, approached the Reading board on behalf of Jenne Road residents.

He said the town’s new signs seem to be helping to decrease traffic on the road where today the Jenne Farm raises beef cattle and produces maple syrup.

In the 1950s, according to Jenne, a South Woodstock photography club first took an interest in the farm, which was settled in about 1790. Professional photographers then started to visit the property to shoot its red barn and 1820s farmhouse.

While those pros would stop by for a few photos, the social media photographers of the present sometimes stay for hours, picnicking on private land, according to Jenne.

But Jenne said he hopes the new signage, which closes the road only in October, won’t stop people from visiting the farm entirely. He wouldn’t mind if people bought some maple syrup.
