STONE SOUP + Royalton Farmers Market!

In collaboration with the South Royalton Community Garden and Randy Leavitt, Building a Local Economy invites the community to participate in an ancient recipe for abundance: The magical making of Stone Soup! This harvest celebration will follow our final ROYALTON FARMERS MARKET of the season and will transform donated vegetables into nourishment for 300+ neighbors through the power of sharing, storytelling, and a giant cauldron over an open wood fire ❤️ On Sunday September 21st, at 10am volunteers are needed to harvest potatoes at the South Royalton Community Garden! Then join cauldron keeper Fiddlerjoebob aka Randy Leavitt on the Green for some fire tending, music making, veggie washing and chopping on the South Royalton Green, alongside the final Royalton Farmers Market of the season. 1:30pm, BALE will present a free screening of short films from Campfire Stories about community and ecological resilience curated by Fledge Fest, and hosted by Evan Reiss of Fledgling Farmstead in Tunbridge,VT inside the Commons (35 S Windsor). At 3pm step up and take your turn stirring the pot while the traditional European folktale of Stone Soup is brought to life through participatory storytelling for all ages, led by story teller and theater educator Kailie Larkin, concluding in a children’s parade around the green. At 4pm sharp, the feast begins - free soup for all!
