Regenerative Agritourism (Central Vermont)

Green Mountain Girls Farm is steeped in the rich culture of Vermont’s working landscape and is one of a few Vermont pilot farms certified by the Vermont Environmental Stewardship Program. Their regenerative practices aim to grow food in ways that capture the greatest potential of the sun, rain and natural systems, while enhancing food quality, plant health, soil life and ecosystems. They also host quite a few agritourism events, as well as farmstays and farm-to-table meals.  After a walking and tasting tour, groups will split off by interests to dive deeper into a zone of interest and hands-on action. We will then gather in the large barn to enjoy an incredibly fresh farm-to-table lunch.

 

Perfect Circle Farm is a small family run farm and nursery that specializes in growing nut trees, fruit trees and berry shrubs. They grow most of what they sell from seed, cuttings or by grafting, and travel far and wide to collect germplasm from all over the country from the best plant materials for northern growing.
