We all had a fabulous time during Eat Local Week sampling amazing local foods and visiting local farms. Thank so much to all who participated in attending and hosting events.
A few quick snapshot of what Eat Local Week looked like on the ground:
80 people attended a series of sold-out cooking classes throughout the week learning to make everything from pies to corn tortillas to sourdough to raspberry jam. (If you weren’t able to join us, check out City Market’s ongoing series of free cooking classes).
Did you know that we have 350 acres of farmland within Burlington city limits?
Just a mile from downtown, the Intervale hosts 13 farms growing everything from blueberries to tomatoes to flowers, raising chickens, keeping bees and more.
