Vermont Open Farm Week

Even historic floods can’t keep Vermont’s farms down. Vermont Open Farm Week is back in full force, with more than 170 events at farmsteads across our brave little state. Whether attendees are looking to run a 5K on a lavender farm, meet Scottish Highlander cows face-to-face, learn how to spin wool, watch sheepdogs in action or help harvest hemp, there are options for all. Plenty of the offerings — from blueberry picking to a whole-hog barbecue — double as fundraisers for farmers affected by the flooding.
