Each year Vermont Shortbread Company participates in a local food and wine festival. It's held at Shelburne Farms, which is a 1400 acre working farm, National Historical Landmark and educational center and one of the prettiest places around. It sits on Lake Champlain and is host to many local events such as the annual summer Mozart Festival on the expansive lawns overlooking the lake.
This festival is a fundraiser for the Flynn Theater in Burlington, VT. It's a great opportunity to stroll in a lovely environment, sip wine and taste local food. This will be VSC's fifth year participating. I love doing the show because I love hearing the praise for my product and watching my guest book fill up with names for my mailing list. Mostly, I just love good food.
