Tickets to celebrate the best food and drink the Northeast Kingdom has to offer are on sale now at www.GreenMountainFarmtoSchool.org/events.

Guests will be able to enjoy the chance to sample custom-created, seasonally inspired small plates prepared by the region’s top chefs, as well as a selection of fine, local desserts, wine, crafts beer, spirits, and cider. The evening will include a silent auction and live music. All proceeds will support Green Mountain Farm-to-School and its work to promote the health of Vermont’s children, farms, and communities.

“The Taste of the Kingdom is one of my favorite events because it’s a big celebration of all the great food and drink that is being produced and made in the Northeast Kingdom,” says Katherine Sims, executive director, GMFTS, “With all those amazing farms, restaurants, and producers under one roof, plus live music, it’s hard for people to not have a good time.”
