Upcoming events.
Scott Farm is a community hub of activity!
From our annual events like Heirloom Apple Day each Indigenous Peoples’ Day weekend or our monthly Summer Crêpe Nights in support of local nonprofits to special gatherings that celebrate local music, farming, food, and community, there’s always a reason to get together with friends at the Farm.
Our grounds are also open during daylight hours to explore on your own. Take our Loop Trail through the woods, wander the Stone Wall Park, or grab a self-guided historical walking tour or kids architectural scavenger hunt to enjoy our beautiful grounds for a picnic or just to connect with our remarkable Vermont countryside.
Summer Fruit Tart Workshop
Summer brings delicious fruits at Scott Farm. This class will begin with making crust from scratch. We will then wrap summer fruit into hand pies - delightful, portable treats! We will explore and play with different flavor profiles, including sweet and savory options, using fruits that are available on the Farm, such as plums, early season apples, peaches and berries. Participants will take home their hand pies and extra dough.
What to bring: Scott Farm will provide all the ingredients for the pies as well as baking and other kitchen utensils for attendants. Please bring an apron and a container to bring your pies home.
Instructor: Ruby McAdoo is a seasoned chef, trained at the Institute of Culinary Education in New York City, and working for many years at Burdick’s Restaurant and in their pastry kitchen. Though she has hung up her chef’s hat, she loves to share her cooking and baking knowledge.
This event is part of Vermont Open Farm Week.
Cost: $50 **SOLD OUT**

Fruit & Chocolate Workshop
Fall and holiday parties are on the horizon, and what better way to tantalize your guests than with your own homemade chocolate fondue paired with Scott Farm fruit! We’ll learn to make chocolate fondue three ways with the artisan chocolatiers John and Dar from Tavernier Chocolates.
We will work off a basic chocolate fondue recipe, and explore three different ways to add ingredients for three very different flavor combinations. Working off a base recipe which we will make together, we will taste all three variations while discussing ideas for serving as a group. Participants will bring home recipes and a small container of fondue to enjoy at home (with fruit, of course!).
Sweet and Salty Chocolate Caramel Fondue with caramel sauce and warm spices perfect for apples, pears, toasts, or salty chips.
Bittersweet Chocolate Fondue with a fruit reduction to pair with berries and other fruits, bacon, potato chips, or cheddar.
Savory Chocolate Fondue with a fresh cider reduction, warm spices, and alpine style cheese or chèvre, just waiting for grilled meats, porcini mushrooms, or stone fruits.
Use them as a dip or a sauce for fruit desserts, pies, or even ice cream. However you use it, it’ll certainly be delicious. Chocolate + fruit is heaven on earth!
