14th Annual Farm To Plate Gathering

When: Wed, Nov 20 - Thu, Nov 21 2024, All day

Where: Killington Grand Resort, Killington, VT

The Annual Farm to Plate Network Gathering will bring together over 300 attendees from across Vermont’s food system. Over two days together, we will build on last year's Gathering theme of "Transformative Change,” and explore what it means to take transformative, collaborative action within the food system.

The theme of this year's Gathering is "Transformative Action". The agenda includes plenary storytelling, breakout sessions, meals, and time for connection with colleagues old and new. Breakout sessions will be interactive, providing a mix of skill development and deep dives into food system topics and projects. 

The Intervale Center will be tabling at the event and Nikki from our Farm Business team will be a co-facilitating a discussion on Wednesday 11/20 about crafting policies that facilitate land access for farmers
