Thanks for joining us at the 17th Annual Tour de Farms!
Join us at the ACORN Food Hub on Friday, October 3
We are excited to invite you to a celebration & announcement of a new product joining the Milk with Dignity Program! Celebrate with us on Friday, 10/3 from 11:00am-12:30pm in Middlebury at the ACORN Food Hub (616 Exchange Street, Middlebury).
This press conference announces the partnership between Vermont Way Foods and Milk With Dignity for the Organic Farmers Cheese produced by three fabulous local producers and makers, including Severy Farm, Champlain Valley Creamery and Free Verse Farm.
Friday's event is an announcement of the partnership, but the cheese will not hit the market until a time later this year, possibly into 2026.
We hope that you're able to join us!
Migrant Justice is also looking for volunteers who can help provide a ride for migrant worker community members to attend as well. Please contact us if you're available and would like to help out with solidarity transportation and we’ll connect you to the right folks.
