The Farm Show is Vermont’s largest agricultural showcase. For agricultural professionals and rural homeowners, it is an opportunity to meet with vendors, preview products and machinery, attend trade association meetings, seminars and network within the greater agricultural community. It is a much needed break in the winter routine and we are proud to welcome you to the 84th Vermont Farm Show in 2015.
This winter show also holds wide appeal for the general public. Family friendly with tractors,equipment,agricultural products and information on display, there’s something for everyone at the Farm Show. And of course we plan to have a variety of animals on display! Product Contests have always been an important part of this event. 2014 Product Contest winners are found under that page.
Each year, young and old alike flock to Wednesday's Consumer Night to see, taste and buy the best of Vermont during the Buy Local Market. The Capital Cook-off
allows Legislative and Agency personnel the opportunity to create a signature dish utilizing fresh local ingredients from the market during a timed competition. Plan to pull up a chair and watch the hands on preparation.
The Farm Show is many different things to our diverse agricultural population. This winter gathering exemplifies both the creative spirit of Vermonters and our shared rural heritage, linking the past to the future.
Congratulations to Heidi, Mike, Matthew and Hannah Dolloff and Izzy of Dolloff Acres of Springfield for being named 2014 Vermont Dairy Farm of the year.
The University of Vermont Extension Service and the Vermont Dairy Industry Association in cooperation with the New England Green Pastures Program choose a Vermont farm each year.
We are again proud to partner with the Vermont Foodbank – so even though parking and admission to the Farm Show is free, we are asking all those attending to donate a canned or boxed good to the greeters as you walk in the front door of the Miller Building. The response was wonderful last year, and we hope to continue filling the shelves at the Foodbank.
