Cooking Events in Shelburne

Explore how food, farming, and sustainability are deeply intertwined — connecting the landscapes of Sicily and Vermont. Participants will meet and interact with Shelburne Farms catering chef and farmers, Vermont producers, and those engaged in the Vermont food system throughout the experiential program. Our time together will include a visit to our Market Garden greenhouses to harvest early season ingredients with our farmers while learning about the importance of soil and regenerative farming practices. We will walk the land to wildcraft spring nettles and learn the importance of pasture raised livestock with Shelburne Farms dairy & livestock manager. We will gather in the kitchen with Fabrizia and Shelburne Farms catering chef Jackie Major to learn simple techniques to bring the land to life and share meals together! Whether you are a passionate home cook, an admirer of the foodways of Italy and Vermont, or simply curious about how food traditions express place and identity, this program offers a welcoming opportunity to learn, taste, and connect.
