Saturday, March 15
7-10am Enjoy our deluxe continental breakfast at Amee Farm Lodge.
8:30-9:30 Choose from Yoga or a guided hike or snowshoe (depending on conditions) with our Perfect Vermont Retreats team. Both meet downstairs at Amee Farm Lodge.
11-12:30 Your host Courtney Desena will take you on a tour of our Riverside Farm event spaces. Meet at Amee Farm Lodge. A shuttle will be provided from Amee to Riverside Farm by Gramp’s Shuttle @ 10:45am.
12:30pm Break for lunch. There are several local options to choose from. Some of us will be right here in town at our own Original General Store where you can sit it down for a warm meal, fresh juices, cappuccino and good company. If you’ve got a car take a drive up the Killington access road to get a glimpse of the ski scene. The Sun Up Bakery is a local favorite for freshly baked sandwiches and soups to go. Or head North, a spectacular 20 minute drive up Vermont’s winding scenic route 100 brings you to the small town of Rochester, Vermont. We recommend the Rochester Cafe or Sandy’s Books Shop and Bakery. Want to stay a little closer to home? The funky tiny Wild Fern restaurant is open for brunch on weekends (the owner cooks, waits tables, does all the baking and gets to know every customer by name.) If you prefer stay here in Pittsfield and want something quick you can get a grab and go sandwich made to order at the Swiss Farm Market.
2-4pm Meet the farmers of Sweet Georgia P's at Amee Farm for a Hands on cheese making experience and farm tour. Gather downstairs at Amee Farm lodge at 2:00.
5:30pm Group dinner downstairs at the Amee Farm Lodge provided by Vermont Farms Catering
Live music by musician Rick Reddington!
