Vermont Open Farm Week

After taking a pause in 2025, this vibrant statewide event is happening again in 2026! 
 

Open Farm Week runs from Monday, August 3rd through Sunday, August 9th.

Celebrate local food and farms during Vermont Open Farm Week, an annual event that takes place at farms across Vermont. During Vermont Open Farm Week, you can meet the farmers, plants, and animals that bring your favorite high-quality Vermont products to your plate. You'll get to know your farmer better, and get a behind-the-scenes look into Vermont's vibrant working agricultural landscape. Farms and farmers markets across the state host special events during this week and invite the members of the public to come see what a working farm looks like. Event information is below; if registration is required, please contact the host farm or business.
