Food

Gather to enjoy the flavors of Vermont. The beauty of this small but mighty state is the broad expression of our food landscape, from farmers and producers to chefs and restaurants. We’ve invited chefs and great friends from across Vermont who personify creativity, locality, and quality to share in a unique tasting experience.

Some of this year’s participating food vendors include Café Monette, 5th Quarter Butcher & Provisions, Red Can, The Spicy Spoke, Mac’s Maple, Frisky Cow Gelato, each bringing their own expression of Vermont’s food landscape to the table.

Enjoy our festival grounds, meet the people behind the food, and taste all that our small but mighty state has to offer.

Community

Vermont and our local community have a long tradition of self-sufficiency, shaped by the people who work the land, create with their hands, and show up for their neighbors. That tradition continues to evolve today, bringing sustainable agriculture together with a thriving food, music, and arts community.

It’s a collective effort to honor what makes this place special while building something vibrant for the future, rooted in the land, creativity, and community. We’re proud to produce and host this festival with all of these elements in mind, bringing them together for a weekend that celebrates the people, place, and spirit of Vermont.
