Welcome to the Vermont Farm Show 2019
We are excited to offer you access to the most innovative companies doing business on behalf of agriculturists and we hope you spend all day (or days!) visiting our vendors and attending organizational meetings.
All three days will be filled with exciting things to do, so please check the events listing as well as the vendor listings to plan your time here.
Please visit our contest displays, where you can see award winning examples of Vermont’s best maple syrup, Christmas trees, honey and fiber.
We will be hosting the FFA Student Competition on Wednesday morning beginning at 8:30 a.m., and the ever-popular Consumer Night/Capital Cook Off will begin on Wednesday at 4 p.m. and close at 7 p.m.
This year, we expect dozens of exhibitors to participate in the “Job Fair on the Floor” offering career information about their companies. A full listing of participating vendors will be available soon.
The Vermont Farm Show has been going strong since 1931 (with a couple years hiatus due to World War II), and we’ve traveled from Memorial Auditorium in Burlington to the Civic Auditorium in Barre to our current home in Essex Junction. Whether you are a first time visitor or have been coming for years, we are so happy to share the future of agriculture with you!
From the Team – Jackie, Glenn, Dave and Steve
and the Vermont Farm Show Board of Directors.

Welcome!
The Vermont Farm Show brings us together just at the right time. As winter sets in, this three-day family event highlights all that’s great about Vermont Agriculture. It’s our first fair of the year focused on farming, fun and food. As you walk the halls you get a snapshot of what’s happening in the field and what might be coming down the path. Farming never sits still. It moves.
We at the Agency of Agriculture, Food and Markets are happy to participate and look forward to your visits at our booth. Please bring your questions, suggestions or concerns. We will do our best to get you what you need so you can make informed decisions.
Please enjoy your time with your neighbors and friends. It’s a time to catch up and check in. We also encourage you to tell others outside of agriculture about the Vermont Farm Show. Agriculture has a great story to tell and you can find it on display for three days in Essex Junction. Enjoy!

We are proud to partner with the Chittenden Emergency Food Shelf -- so even though parking and admission to the Farm Show is free, we are asking all those attending to donate a canned or non-perishable goods or cash donations to the greeters as you walk in the front door of the Miller Building. The response was wonderful last year, and we hope to again help fill the shelves.
