Thanks to the Teachers

  The tatsoi, vivid and Bok choy, mustard greens, broccoli raab, kale, chard, spinach and lettuces are so lush and colorful… whether you get a chance to pop your heads into the hoop houses or experience them as they show up on our plates. Those of us eating primarily from the farm are admitting to […]

Now That is a Village!

Farm Tours Bring Perspective

October 1, 2014 – 9:43 pm

While our farm tour participants come from a variety of places and walks of life, often the responses converge. The view appeals. The distant Worcester Range a purple silhouette, with Paine Mountain and other near ridges in the full relief of peak foliage. Clean lines of the old fashioned barn and modern high tunnels occupy […]

Tip of the Iceberg

October 23, 2013 – 6:13 pm

Attending Agritourism, Education & Economics on your farm forum at Shelburne Farms has proven stimulating.  Not only drinking in the view of expanses of pasture dotted with Brown Swiss cows grazing with the lake behind them, framed by the Adirondack Mountains.  But also giving us an opportunity to gather with colleagues and tour farms like Bread […]

Dig in Vermont!

February 6, 2013 – 7:38 am

Vermont Life says Dig In Vermont “connects the dots between food and tourism”. As Vermonters who purposely explore our state and especially food and farm events, we are still surprised at how often we still learn of new offerings.
