Open Farm Week 2020 Images

We just celebrated the sixth annual Vermont Open Farm Week and what a week it was! Farmers throughout the state worked tirelessly to provide guests with incredible, accessible experiences, whether in-person or online - and the response was fantastic.

Vermonters took advantage of this opportunity to find some farm adventures, and folks from near and far could tune in to virtual events to experience the fun from home.

Whether farms hosted workshops, tastings, or tours, each event was successful in bringing people closer to Vermont's working landscape and offered a unique glance into our state's diverse agricultural communities.

If you missed out, you can always use DigInVT.com to find farms open to the public and food and farm events across Vermont.

The Open Farm Week organizing committee was lucky enough to visit some first-time participant farms and a few of our old favorites. Below are just a few of our favorite pictures of the week.
