Vermont Farm Show kicks off Tuesday

The Vermont Farm Show kicks off Tuesday in Essex Junction at the Champlain Valley Expo.

The ninth annual Consumer Night begins Wednesday with a Buy Local Market featuring prepared meals, produce, meats, beverages, handmade crafts and more, from 50 farmers and producers.

The Capital Cook-Off follows, pitting Vermont state representatives, senators and Agency of Agriculture staff against each other in a fast-paced cooking contest.

The evening ends with a raffle featuring prizes from Vermont businesses.

Officials say the Vermont Farm Show has been going strong since 1931.
