The historic barns, hillsides dotted with cows, and steaming sugar houses of Vermont's working landscape have been iconic images of the state for many years. Increasingly, visitors want to do more than drive by these pastoral images. They want to roll up their sleeves, milk a cow, dig potatoes, and learn more about the food system with all five senses. On October 22 and 23, the Farm-Based Education Network and Vermont Farms! Association are collaborating with the Northeast Organic Farming Association of Vermont, Shelburne Farms, and University of Vermont Extension to offer the Farm-Based Education Forum: Agritourism, Education and Economics on Your Farm.

This workshop will help you plan your winter feeding strategy for optimal results, as well as implement strategies to help make up for shortages and manage costs.
