Join the Vermont Farm Show's re-visioning process.
At its May 2024 meeting, the Vermont Farm Show's Board of Trustees gave authority to the executive committee to be the “Re-visioning and Re-structuring Team”. The “team” will develop recommendations for a future Vermont Farm Show. Stakeholder engagement and information gathering activities are occurring now - see below for ways to get involved. Recommendations from the stakeholder engagement process will be presented to the Vermont Farm Show trustees in May 2025.
We are looking forward to having your voice and that of many others involved in this process! Please share the news widely!
