Are you hungry to learn more about where your favorite foods and farm products come from? Then you're invited to #Farm24VT!
It's a 24-hour social media celebration of Vermont agriculture, food, and dairy. Farmers, food producers, and agribusinesses throughout the state will take to social media to share photos, videos, and stories using the hashtag #Farm24VT.
