Bennington County is an exciting place to be for many reasons - especially our local food producers. Here in Shaftsbury, local food is a key driver of our local economy. Making a commitment to buy local food including milk, dairy products, meat, vegetables, fruits, maple syrup, flowers, honey, beer and baked goods help to preserve our partnership between our farmers and our bucolic natural environment. There’s a lot happening here. We hope this page will help visitors, travelers, and our neighbors find great food and farm experiences.
