Stone Soup: A Community Feast & Harvest Celebration
Join BALE for a magical community feast! We're bringing the classic European folktale to life - where strangers teach a village that sharing creates abundance.
How it works: Donate vegetables Saturday 9/20 (12-3pm at BALE) anything that cannot be used in soup will go into a salad or side dish!
9/21 Sunday join the South Royalton Community Garden for a potato harvest (10am)!
Or meet us on the Green at the Royalton Farmers Market, where you can help veteran cauldron keeper, fire tender and fiddler Randy Leavitt, prep veggies and cook everything in a giant cauldron over wood fire while we share the Stone Soup story together. Help chop, stir, feed the fire, and celebrate!
Timeline:
10:00am potato harvest & veggie prep
1:30pm Short film screenings hosted by Fledge Fest @ BALE Commons

The Soil Series: Grassroots for the Climate Emergency
Calling all land managers, farmers, gardeners, seed savers, citizen scientists, town planners, educators, healers, and advocates. Join us for a series of critical conversations about soil health and how we can become “response-able” to meet the climate emergency we face with confidence. There will be great food provided before and, following powerful panel dialogues guided by VHSC members, audience discussion on topics of food, soil, water, health, climate and hope. Together, we can explore what is possible in rehabilitating Vermont’s soil health to hold our landscapes and communities together.
