Rural Vermont and BALE (Building A Local Economy) partner to host a guest panel of young farmers from around the state and a full-course family-style "Know Your Farmer, Feed Your Farmer" meal catered by Black Krim. Live music will fill the edges of the evening... and over dinner... thanks to Randy Leavitt, Chloe Powell and Justin Park. Free for farmers and $10-$15 for everyone else (noone turned away for lack of funds). Event will be limited to first 100. Doors open at 6:15, so come early!

The panel discussion will lead off the evening with a shared dialogue on the future of Vermont's working landscape that depends on equitable land access and successful transition of current operations. In an era of increasing real estate prices, challenges of development pressure, and marginalized farm viability, how can the working lands future we all envision for Vermont be realized? Farmers who will present are: Corie Pierce of Bread & Butter Farm in Shelburne; Graham Unangst-Rufenacht of Robinson Hill Beef in Calais/Plainfield; and Lila Bennett of Tangletown Farm in West Glover.

This event is part of Rural Vermont's Pitchfork series and BALE's Building Resilient Communities series. More info here:
