22nd Annual Vermont Fresh Network Forum Dinner

Join us at the Vermont Fresh Network Annual Forum Dinner! For one special evening in August, farmers and chefs from all across Vermont come together to prepare a sensational meal for you and fellow food enthusiasts. It is a fundraiser for the Vermont Fresh Network — all proceeds go to continuing programming that helps bring more Vermont grown and raised food to the table. Taste some of the most innovative and delicious new culinary treasures coming out of Vermont food artisans. Celebrate the dedication of Vermont’s new wave of cidermakers, winemakers and distillers as they share tastes of their varied creations. Discuss the merits of curd with cheesemakers. Sample heirloom varieties of fruits and vegetables from local farms. Bid on Vermont food and farm experience packages, from romantic getaways at country inns to feasts for a group of friends in our popular Silent Auction.
