Stowe Free Library

Join Rural Vermont on the Stowe Free Library front lawn on Tuesday, July 15 from 6:30 to 8pm for a very special ice cream social featuring ice cream made from local raw milk and a variety of local toppings -- honey, berries, and more!

 

This ice cream social is part of our year-long series focusing on eating local.

 

From Rural Vermont's site:

 

Each social will feature farm fresh ice cream made from raw cream, and sweetened with local honey or maple syrup. The farmers providing these ingredients are folks who sell their products directly to consumers. Come on out to meet your local farmers -- get to know these people who are selling food in your backyard, and find out how you can support them and your local economy.

Come celebrate Rural Vermont’s latest legislative victories, which create new and expanded opportunities for our state’s family farmers! These include an increase in on-farm raw milk sales and a repeal on the raw milk advertising ban. Rural Vermont is connecting farmers selling milk with consumers seeking it, so if you’re interested in selling or buying raw milk, then don’t miss this opportunity to build your market or meet your farmer!

Each social will also include a guest speaker, children’s activities, and a raffle. If you can, plan on making a donation to Rural Vermont and joining our movement to strengthen local food systems and rural communities by advocating for agricultural policy that brings farmers and consumers closer.
