Experience the vibrant local culture and agriculture at two exciting events in Vermont: the 7th Annual Sunflower House at Billings Farm in Woodstock and the revived Royalton Farmers Market in South Royalton. The Sunflower House, curated by Master Gardener Ben Pauly and Kelly Way Gardens Manager Taylor Hiers, features an impressive 20,000 square foot display showcasing over 50 varieties of sunflowers, some towering up to 14 feet. Visitors can wander through pathways formed by sunflower stalks and blooms, creating delightful “rooms” and “hallways,” available to explore through September 7.
Meanwhile, the Royalton Farmers Market will reopen on the South Royalton Green after a two-year hiatus, running every other Sunday from June 1 to September 7. Sponsored by BALE (Building a Local Economy), the market aims to support local farms and foster community connections. Vendors will offer a variety of fresh produce, organic beef, local eggs, baked goods, crafts, and specialty items like heirloom corn and roasted coffee. Highlights include a seed swap, family-friendly dance parties, and performances by local musicians. The popular “Free Store” will also return, allowing community members to exchange used clothing and homewares. Join in these celebrations of local food, farms, and culture, and don't hesitate to contact the market management team with any inquiries or vendor interests.
