Explore the Shelburne Farmers Market with a Vermont Fresh Network member chef this fall! Experience first-hand how Chef Robert Smith III of Ferrisburgh’s Starry Night Café is inspired by local, seasonal ingredients, and how the restaurant works with local farm and producer partners.

The farmers market tour will last approximately one hour, and is coordinated in partnership with the market’s manager.

This project, funded by a Specialty Crop Block Grant from the Vermont Agency of Agriculture, supports Vermont’s farm and food sector by:

allowing members of the public to experience the ways they can eat locally at Vermont restaurants.

showcasing the local partnerships among chefs and producers that are central to Vermont’s local food system.

sharing inspiration for working with local, seasonal crops and food products.

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.
