The free event celebrates Vermont cheesemakers and producers of fermented foods and beverages. This year, over 40 vendors will gather for an afternoon of tasting, education and celebration.
Featured speakers include Charlie Nardozzi, a Regional Emmy® award winning, nationally recognized garden writer, speaker, radio and television personality, who will discuss no-till gardening and soil health; Hill Farmstead Brewery, named the best brewery in the world for the fifth straight year by RateBeer, will give a presentation about the history of their beers and the land they come from; and award-winning Jasper Hill Farm will give a demonstration about cheese cutting, service, storage and appreciation.
In addition to the speakers, workshops and demonstrations on fermented food-making, there will be food trucks, live music and cheese and beverage pairing events. The Cheese and Culture Festival will occur alongside Cabot’s annual Fall Foliage Festival day which will add crafts, an apple pie contest, pumpkin carvings, wagon rides, children’s activities and leaf-peeping tours to the celebratory atmosphere.
