Chef Farmers Market Tour: Burlington

Vermont Fresh Network is hosting three chef-led Farmers Market Tours to close out the summer season. Chefs will lead groups of up to 20 attendees around their local markets of Burlington, Montpelier, or Champlain Islands.

This tour might be a great fit for you if you've ever wanted to:

• Experience a farmers market from a chef's perspective
• Learn more about working with local, seasonal ingredients
• Connect with farmers and vendors at the farmers market
• Receive recipe ideas and inspiration
• Develop a better understanding of Vermont's specialty crops

Tour participants will have the opportunity to interact with their chef guide and market vendors, and will take home a recipe that uses seasonal ingredients available at the market.
