MAD RIVER VALLEY

Localvore Project

Celebrating and supporting local food in the Mad River Valley - those who eat it and those who grow it - through education, community connections, and collective wisdom.

   

Those who say it can't be done should not interrupt those who are doing it.

John Dromgoole

as quoted by Jim Hightower in the Upchuck Rebellion

The Souper Bowl

Did  you miss the Souper Bowl or did you go and maybe you are wondering what you missed even though you were there?  Tony Italiano from Channel 44 did a great job as our videographer and put together a little piece under 10 minutes long that captures the essence of the event.  Thanks Tony!
