Please plan to attend Chicken Event II, A Public Act of Civil Celebration next Friday at American Flatbread. You do not have to eat dinner at Flatbread to take part in the celebration which will start promptly at 7pm on the back porch of Lareau Farm.

We will have a program of speakers including many of the legislators who were involved in the lawmaking process. This is your chance to thank them in person!

A limited edition t-shirt commemorating the event with Keith Davidson's political cartoon of the the chicken crossing the road will be sold. Only 100 t-shirts will be available - first-come first-served. T-shirt sales benefit Rural Vermont and the MRV Localvores.

If you will not be able to make it to the chicken event, but would still like a t-shirt, click here to order on-line.

 

Farmers - Rural Vermont will have information on what you need to do in order to sell your chicken to local restaurants and at Farmer's Markets.

Chicken Lovers - The Mad River Valley Localvores will have an information sheet on how to work with a whole farm fresh chicken along with some great recipes.

Bring lawn chairs, blankets, and frisbees! Beverages can be purchased at American Flatbread.

Of course, you probably will want to eat at American Flatbread that evening because they will be serving a special chicken flatbread so get there early and get your name on the list.
