It's that time of year again for the Northeast Kingdom to celebrate local food! A collaboration between the Center for an Agricultural Economy, High Mowing Organic Seeds, Pete’s Greens, the New England Culinary Institute and the Craftsbury Outdoor Center, the annual Kingdom Farm and Food Days is a celebration of Vermont food & agriculture with Open Farms, a Kingdom Bike Tour, incredible and local food, music, workshops and tours.

On Saturday, August 18th, events will include a bike tour hosted by the Craftsbury Outdoor Center, and guided tours at Pete’s Greens Farm. On Sunday, August 19th there will be tours and workshops at High Mowing Organic Seeds' Trial and Showcase Garden and a Local Foods Showcase of fully local, donated food prepared by New England Culinary Institute (NECI) students.

The event is also looking for volunteers to help the weekend’s activities run smoothly! Opportunities include helping with the set up and break down of events, being a compost station monitor or parking officer, and much more.
