Kingdom Farm & Food Days
August 20 & 21, 2011
It's that time of year again for the Northeast Kingdom to celebrate local food! The annual Kingdom Farm and Food Days are a celebration of Vermont food & agriculture. The event is put on as a colaboration between The Center for an Agricultural Economy, High Mowing Organic Seeds, Pete’s Greens, The New England Culinary Institute and The Craftsbury Outdoor Center. Plus, this two day event is free for everyone!
On Saturday, August 20th, events will include a bike tour hosted by the Craftsbury Outdoor Center, and guided tours at Pete’s Greens Farm. On Sunday, August 21st there will be tours and workshops at High Mowing Organic Seeds' Trial and Showcase Garden and a Local Foods Showcase of fully local, donated food prepared by New England Culinary Institute (NECI) students.
The event is also looking for volunteers to help the weekend’s activities run smoothly! Opportunities include helping with the set up and break down of events, being a compost station monitor or parking officer, and much more. If you are interested, please contact Elena Gustavson at center@hardwickagriculture.org.
