Learn what a statewide land bank could do and how land banks bring abandoned properties back to life across the country. This will be an interactive webinar hosted by the Vermont Department of Housing & Community Development, with opportunities to ask questions and provide feedback.

We’ll meet at UVM’s Jericho Research Forest classroom for an introduction to the Forest including its history, current and future management goals. Then, we’ll walk into the forest to see a recently planted forest farming site. We’ll discuss key indicator species for forest farming and identify a good location to plant ramps. The workshop includes an hour of hands-on planting of ramp bulbs, so be ready to get your hands dirty. There will also be many opportunities to talk about the current state of Vermont forests and forest farming.

Animist Folk Festival is a celebration of wild foods, music, and a ceremony to deepen our reciprocal relationship with the land. Rooted in the tradition of gathering and processing the autumn harvest of wild nuts, the festival invites people to learn the skills of harvesting, storing, and honoring the abundance of the forest.

As the leaves start to turn and the days get shorter, Foam Brewers is throwing one last celebration of fall. Falling Up at Foam is a full-day fall beer festival built around everything we love about the season: crisp lagers, good food, music, friends, and an excuse to spend a Saturday drinking good beer.

THE BEER
‍We’ll have a whole mess of fall-leaning beers on tap from yours truly, plus a few of our favorite beers from friends near and far. Think crisp lagers, European classics, and everything else you want to be drinking on a cool October afternoon.
