Rural Vermont’s Community Conversation Tour is engaging communities in dialogue about land use, livelihood, food, and the future of Vermont. At each of the Tour stops, Rural Vermont farmer-leaders and staff are presenting a vision for an agricultural economy in Vermont that delivers health and vitality to farmer, eater, soil, environment, and community alike. Attendees will be invited to identify priorities, barriers, and pathways to systemic change at the individual, community, and statewide levels. Rural Vermont will use the results from all Tour events to shape its plan for moving Vermont towards this shared vision for a just agriculture and economy which serve all Vermonters and the land we inhabit. At the Putney gathering, local host Kate Bowen of Meadowdale Farm will welcome attendees. The community conversation will be punctuated by a light dinner and cash bar, with live music during the breaks. The Putney event is locally sponsored by Food Connects and the Putney Food Co-op. Farmer and childcare stipends are available, on a limited basis, to make it easier for farmers and families to participate.
