23rd Annual Vermont Fresh Network Forum Dinner
Join us for the Vermont Fresh Network's 23rd Annual Forum Dinner! For one special evening in August, farmers and chefs from all across Vermont gather at the Coach Barn on the shores of Lake Champlain to prepare a sensational meal for you and fellow food enthusiasts.
The Vermont Fresh Network (VFN) is a member-based non-profit with a social mission. Not only is this event a way to feature and celebrate some of our members, but this grazing farm-to-table dinner is a fundraiser for the Network — all proceeds go to continuing programming that helps bring more Vermont grown and raised food to the table. Join as a Supporting Member of VFN and receive discounted tickets on this and other events for the next year, details here. Members enter discount code at checkout.
