The Heifers are Coming to Town!
We’ve been enjoying Alan Greenleaf’s wonderful song, “The
Heifers are Coming to Town,” ever since the very first Strolling of
the Heifers Weekend in 2002.
Alan recorded it (you can find a link on the Weekend Schedule
page on our website); our local radio stations play it in the run-up
to the Stroll, and the duo Alan Greenleaf and the Doctor
(Jonathan Kaplan) perform it during Stroll Weekend — at Friday
night’s Street Festival, at the tail end of Saturday’s parade, and at
the Tour de Heifer on Sunday. It’s a catchy tune, and we can’t get
it out of our heads!
This year, we chose the song’s title as the Weekend’s theme,
because this year, not only are the heifers coming to town as
always for the Parade, but Strolling of the Heifers — the organization — has also come to town. Since last November we’ve been
the new owners and stewards of the Robert H. Gibson River
Garden, a jewel of a building in the heart of downtown
Brattleboro.
for a relaxed, hour-long performance or presentation. Our Gallery
at the Garden displays works by regional artists. We’ve presented
a play and a concert; we’ve hosted events for other local
organizations including the Winter Farmers Market, and we’re
open Monday through Friday for people who want to relax, take
advantage of our free wi-fi, or get information from the “River
Garden Ambassadors” who are always on duty.
We’re also making plans for more improvements to the building,
and for more exhibits and programs related to our region’s agriculture and local food systems, while keeping it available as a
resource to the public.
Please stay tuned for updates on our plans, and please stop to
see us at the River Garden. (You can’t miss it — it’s at the corner
of Main Street and High Street.)
We’ve established our office at the River Garden, and we’ve
launched a variety of events that are bringing a steady stream of
people through the doors. Every weekday at noon, we offer a
“Brown Bag Lunch” event — a speaker, musician or other artist for
Orly Munzing
Strolling of the Heifers Founder
& Executive Director
We remember Joe Famolare
A great proponent of our acquisition of the River Garden was Joe Famolare, a longtime member of the Strolling of the Heifers Board of Directors, who died last summer.
Stroll fans of a certain age may remember Joe as the iconic face in magazine advertisements for Famolare shoes during the 1960s. Founded by his father in 1934,
Famolare became, under Joe’s leadership, a leading U.S. footwear brand. His designs
are on permanent display at the Smithsonian Institute in Washington, D.C. and in the
permanent collection of the Costume Institute, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in
New York City and the Cincinnati Museum of Art in Ohio.
In 1994 Joe founded the Vermont Agricultural Business Education Center (VABEC)
in Brattleboro. Housed in a historically renovated antique farm on 120 acres, this
center was developed and is primarily a continuing education site encouraging
partnerships between business, government, education and agriculture.
We miss Joe, we miss his sage advice and his great stories, and we wish he were
still here to see what we’re doing at the River Garden.
Please, NO
Dogs at the
Parade & Expo!
Because some of the
animals in the parade may
not react well to dogs,
please leave them at home
on the day of the parade.
Thanks!

Parade Route and Parking
The parade takes place rain or shine!
We encourage you to plan for a 9 a.m. arrival in downtown Brattleboro on Parade Day!

Organics tent, starting at 7 a.m.
There will be plenty of parking in Brattleboro for Strolling of the Heifers. However, illegally
parked vehicles may endanger lives by hindering passage of fire trucks and ambulances
in the event of an emergency. Do not park in posted no-parking zones!
And please be respectful of local residents by not blocking their driveways. Some churches, businesses and individuals near the downtown area will be offering parking on private
property for a small fee.

We’re recycling and composting to
the max to strive for Zero Waste!
Please help us compost, recycle, and strive for Zero
Waste by not throwing anything “away” at Stroll events!
C
We’ve asked our vendors to help out by providing easily
recyclable food containers and utensils. (Look for “EcoVendor”
signs at participating vendors!) After you consume their
delicious offerings, please do your part by recycling everything
that’s recyclable!
At our Zero Waste disposal stations throughout the Expo, as well as at the
Friday night festival, the Slow Living Summit and the Tour de Heifer, you’ll find
three well-marked, separate containers for various materials:
•
Plastic, glass and metal — including caps and lids!
•
Compostables — including food waste, paper and cardboard
•
Trash — there shouldn’t be much of this!
At the Zero-waste stations, you’ll find a volunteer to help you sort things out.
True “Zero Waste” is still out of reach, but we’re aiming for 80 percent recycling,
20 percent waste — or even better! Please help us get there!
Thanks to our recycling partners:

Stroll Weekend Entertainers
See schedule on our Weekend
Entertainment schedule page. Here
are some details about our 2014 performers:
Alan Greenleaf and the
Doctor
Singer-songwriter
Alan Greenleaf is
one of Vermont’s
most prolific and
beloved songwriters. Robert
Resnik considers
Alan “the best
songwriter in
Vermont” He is a
self taught finger picking guitar player
whose songs and lyrics reflect the
people and country around him. The
stories he tells are greatly inspired by
his years as a farmer in Northern
Vermont . His music draws from many
American traditions, including country,
Appalachian, Blues and Jazz. And of
course, he wrote the official song for
the Strolling of the Heifers. Alan has
been playing with “Doc” for a dozen
years. Jonathan Kaplan is a classically
trained pianist who fell for the blues
and old time traditional American
music, and his keyboard work provides an inspired backdrop for Alan’s
stories. Together, they bring a wide
variety of original ballads, rhythm and
blues and moving melodies that is
“Americana” music at its best.
Alotta Hoopla
Shenandoah Sluter’s
Alotta Hoopla provides a revolutionary
experience of fun
movement, creative
exercise and inspiring interaction. So
come get your
Hoop On!
Our mission is to inspire healthy
happy presence through rhythmic
revolving movements with these toys,
tools and instruments for the bodies,
minds and spirit of our world. Alotta
Hoopla is created by spreading joy,
health and consciousness through
the playful, present movements of
hooping. In spinning around the
world, Alotta Hoopla offers an experience of the spiraling rhythm revolving
and evolving around and within us.
When we are exposed to a pure
expression of beauty we can experience the beauty within ourselves to
explore, nurture and share. To master
an art or simply witness it, is to recognize the creative force within all of us.
Alotta Hoopla offers each hoop as a
gift of divine possibilities.
Amelia Struthers
Amelia Struthers, performance artist also
known as the “Dairy
Godmother,” has been
with the Stroll since
the first heifers took to
the streets of
Brattleboro in 2001.
Amelia is a veteran entertainer, performing throughout New England as
an actress, storyteller, comedian, children’s musician, and emcee, on
stage, television and radio. Since
moving to Brattleboro in 2000, she
has regularly performed comedy
improv, and won silver and gold medals, as well as a People’s Choice
Award at the 2002 International Clown
Convention for best sketch comedy
act. Her latest project, a CD called
“All About the Heart,” highlights her
musical side; Amelia and her singing/
songwriting partner perform as
Vermont Timbre. Amelia is an educator who lives with her daughter, Maia,
also known as the Dairy Fairy and a
veteran comedian herself.
Ben Carr and the
Ukeleles
The Southern Vermont ‘Ukulele
Society is group which meets the second Sunday of every month, from 12
– 2 PM, with a mission to create and
foster a comfortable environment for
exploring the sounds and playing
techniques of the ‘ukulele. The group
is open to all ages and the focus is on
having fun! Check out our Facebook
page!
The Bondville Boys
The
Bondville
Boys, so
named
because
“some of us
are from
Bondville, and some of us are boys,”
consists of Jake Geppert (banjo, guitar and vocals), Tom Morris (guitar
and banjo), Laura Molinelli (guitar and
vocals), Dennis Fink (bass and vocals)
and Ben Campbell (guitars, mandolin
and vocals). Popular throughout western New England since 1990, the
Bondville Boys have shared stages
with Del McCoury, the Nashville
Bluegrass Band, Buddy Cage, and the
Gibson Brothers, among others. The
group currently has two live records
with a new studio album coming out
in the spring. The Bondville Boys play
a huge assortment of music, including a ton of original tunes and everything from Flatt and Scruggs to
Blondie.
Brattleboro School of
Dance
Short dance
pieces performed by students from
Brattleboro
School of Dance
showcase work
developed in
Creative Dance Classes for 5-6 year
olds, and Children’s Hip Hop and
Children’s Jazz classes for 7-10 year
olds, under the leadership of Jennifer
Moyse.
Butterfly Swing Band
Hot classic swing
grooves from the 20’s,
30’s and 40’s, with Joe
LoMonaco, percussion, Andrew Lohse
upright bass, Scott
Sizer trumpet, harmonica and vocals, Mark
Anagnostopulos guitar and vocals,
Walter Slowinski clarinet, sax. We sing
and play swing music from the great
American songbook, with a bit a blues
and bebop mixed in. Though we specialize in tunes from an earlier era, we
are definitely not just a “retro” band
cranking out “cover” versions of the
great swing tunes. There is a high
degree of spontaneity, with back and
forth trading between the players.
Riffs arise and metamorphosize into
new themes. Our vocals include two
and three-part harmonies. We have a
unique and hard-swinging sound that
always gets people moving and grooving on. Our brand of swing is more
Count Basie than Bennie Goodman.
Circus Minimus
Circus Minimus, the
one-man circus in-asuitcase, gives everyone an opportunity to
participate in an
enthralling, whimsical
celebration of the
imagination. This show
has been performed over 500 times
around the globe, for family theater
audiences and school assemblies
alike. From Kevin O’Keefe’s suitcase
an entire circus emerges: tent, band,
lights, the boisterous ringmaster
Steve Fitzpatrick, the officious Mervin
Merkle, the incredible Bumbilini
Family, the Magician to the Stars
Clyde Zerbini, and Keefer–an innocent trying to runaway and join the
circus. However, the most important
performers emerge from the audience. Each performance becomes a
dialogue between the characters and
the audience–a light-hearted collaboration.
Ed the Wizard Magic
Show
Follow Ed the Wizard throughout the
day as he conjures up some mystical
magical mayhem with his unique style
of walk around magic and prestidigitation. Be prepared to volunteer and
have fun as he makes the impossible
possible right before your eyes. Ed’s
website: www.edthewizard.com.

The Great New England Bread
Pudding Bake-Off
Our 2014 Culinary Competition
When you make your Top 10 list
of comfort foods, admit it: good
old-fashioned bread pudding is
on that list, if not at the top!
That's why we invited our region's
amateur and professional chefs to
perfect their bread pudding
recipe, whether it’s a family
heirloom handed down from their
great-grandmother, or something
they dreamed up and perfected
yourselves.
The Bake-Off showcases Bread Pudding as an easy, economical and
delicious dessert, and a healthy alternative to processed commercial
desserts.
Bread Pudding is defined as a baked sweet dessert, comprised of bread
baked in a custard. It may consist of any kind of bread, milk and or cream,
eggs, fruit or any number of other ingredients. For our competition, we
encouraged ingredients that are locally or regionally produced whenever
possible — we’re big on locavorism!
In addition to their recipes, contestants were asked to “tell the story” of their
entry: If they created it, what inspired them? Or is it a family dish? Was it a
secret pried from a relative? An accidental discovery?
Again this year, there will be two separate judging circles. The traditional
local celebrity “foodie” judges will select the first, second and third prize
winners. Finalist recipes will be adapted for preparation in a commercial
kitchen, and will be cooked in quantity by Brattleboro Memorial Hospital.
These will be brought to the River Garden on Friday evening, June 6, where
YOU — the community judges — will have their opportunity to taste the
finalist recipes during the Street Festival, and vote to select the “People’s
Choice” award winner.
All awards will be announced on Friday evening during the Gallery Walk
Street Festival. At the conclusion of the judging, traditionally Vermont’s
Governor Peter Shumlin has been on hand to announce the winners, and we
expect he’ll join us again!
We appreciate the support of our contest sponsors:

Gartenstein on drums and percussion. We bring you a wide variety of
jazz and original rock fusion compositions by local musicians.
Inisheer
Inisheer is
made up of
students
from the
Brattleboro
Music
Center’s
Celtic Music program, playing fiddles,
flutes, recorder, mandolin and guitar.
Their repertoire includes jigs, reels
and aires from Scotland and Ireland
and includes French Canadian and
Scandinavian tunes. They perform at
festivals and farmers markets and
have an upcoming performance on
Brattleboro’s community radio.
Interplay with Judith
Reischsman
In this InterPlay performance, we will
ask the audience for words around
the theme, “The Unbelievable Beauty
of the Strolling of the Slow Living
Heifers” (or We Love Slow Cows, for
short). The performers then take the
words given by the audience and create stories, dances and songs (and
mixtures of all three).
New Orleans Brass Band
Project
The New
Orleans
Brass Band
Project was
founded in
early 2009 by
New Orleans
native Pete Simoneaux, as a means of
developing a community of musicians, interested in performing traditional and contemporary New Orleans
style Brass Band music. This is the
music of jazz funerals and street
parades in New Orleans, the style
that gave birth to the careers of
Buddy Bolden, Louis Armstrong,
Sidney Bechet, and whose lineage
continues to this day in the funky,
driving street rhythms of groups like
the Dirty Dozen, the Rebirth, New
Birth & Treme Brass Bands. The
musicians of the N.O.B.B.P. have
become familiar to Brattleboro area
audiences through their performances at numerous Gallery Walks, the
Strolling of the Heifers, 4th of July
parades, and a host of other local
community events. For the 2013 edition of the Strolling of the Heifers,
the Celebration Brass Band will feature Tim Ellis on sousaphone, Ben
James on bass drum, Stephen
Voorhees on snare drum, Scott Sizer
on trumpet, Dan DeWalt on trombone, Jim Kurty on clarinet, Walter
Slowinski, Frank Sansone & Jon Mack
on tenor, baritone & alto saxes, with
Pete & Linda Simoneaux serving as
parade marshalls.
Meters for Demeter
Rolf Parker-Houghton, Paula Melton,
Ben Mitchell, and others will give
powerful performances of powerful
poetry celebrating, and considering
food, flora, and fauna. Poems by A. E.
Housman, Don Marquis, Frank
O’Hara,Elizabeth Bishop, Larry Levis,
and other great writers will be performed.
Sandglass Puppets and
Stilt Walking
Sandglass will
present Kasper
and the Cow! Sit
by our big sun
umbrella and step
into a funny
adventure with Kasper, beloved hand
puppet hero of Germany. He wears a
stocking cap and likes to have a good
time with his audience. Kasper packs
to go on a journey, but before he can
leave, a cow steals his suitcase. With
the help of his best friend, the charming giant Augustin, Kasper has to go
on a rollicking chase to capture the
cow and his suitcase. This show was
created by Ines Zeller Bass and has
enraptured children and their families
for 35 years. It is now proudly performed by Ines’ daughter Jana Zeller.
Shoulder Narrows
Shoulder Narrows was started in
2004 by male students at Brattleboro
Union High School who wanted to
sing a cappella in an independent
group away from the school. They
made up their own arrangements of
some popular songs, and they all
played with the music that they made.
The nine original members have all
graduated, and many moved on to
sing a cappella at the college level.
Today, the group sings a mix of indie
rock, pop, jazz, and a little bit of
everything else in between.
The Snaz
The Snaz started
two years ago
with Dharma
Ramirez and
Mavis Eaton. We
soon discovered
Zack James on the drums and Sally
Fletcher as a bass player. Ever since,
we have been writing originals, playing concerts and recording. Along the
way we met a great producer, Peter
Solley, who helped develop our indie
rock tunes for recording at Guilford
Sound (our prize for winning the battle of the bands). At the moment we
are trying to get our recordings out
and about and play as many shows as
we can get our hands on.
Spiralia
Spiralia is the longest running allfemale student-led a cappella group
from BUHS. They love to add their
own creative twists to funky, upbeat
tunes. The group was founded in
2007 to provide young women with a
fun, musically challenging, and supportive environment in which to take
charge of their own musical experiences, and it’s been grooving and
rocking a cappella music ever since.
Vermont Jazz Center
Youth Jazz Ensemble
Some people spend a lifetime pursuing a dream.
At Vermont Tech, we believe that’s way too long.
Serena Reynolds (‘14) plans to take over her family’s dairy farm. So she
joined the Dairy Farm Management program and got to work on day one.

Entertainers, continued
This group of young jazz musicians
came together in November, 2013
under the direction of former
Brattleboro Town Schools
Elementary School band leader of 40
years, Jim Kurty with the assistance
of VJC artistic director, Eugene
Uman. The ensemble strives to educate youths in improvisation, jazz history and classics of jazz and the
blues. Musicians are also instructed
in improving their playing skills on
their instrument. The group meets on
Mondays after school from 3:304:45PM at the VT Jazz Center in the
Cotton Mill Hill Complex. New members are always welcome.
Westrio
Westrio is the
folk band consisting of Nick
Walker, Jacob
Ellis, and James
Sullivan. All three members are in the
class of 2016 at Bowdoin College.
The group officially formed in
January of 2013 and has been jammin’ and havin’ a good time ever
since!
Xpressivo
We are a co-ed group, who founded
last year. We all go to Brattleboro
Union High School, and love music.
We sing a variety of music, from several different genres, as each of us
has our own unique taste. We have a
lot of energy, and are all very close
friends.

Brattleboro-West Arts is visiting those
The farms are Deer Ridge Farm, the

This show will open with a public
preview during the Gallery Walk Street

King reflected on the particular challenges of working with the 16-inch square
canvases: “It’s actually harder than it might seem to be. Both artists and viewers
have been trained to see things in horizontal or vertical rectangles. You see that in
paintings and photographs as well as in the designs of buildings, books, furniture.
Creating something that fits in a square doesn’t come naturally.”
The artists included in the show are Marilyn Allen, Nancy Calicchio, Trudy Crites, Alicia Drakiotes, Janet Eldridge-Taylor, Esther Fielding, Georgie, Bobbie Groves, David
Howell, Mary Iselin, Caryn King, Heidi M Lorenz, Paul Madalinski, Jim McGrath, Nancie Mclean, Steven Meyer, Meris Morrison, Scott Nelson, Janet Picard, Anne Sawyer,
Lori Schreiner, Kristina Wentzell and Jen Wiechers.
The paintings will remain on view until early July. The River Garden is normally open
weekdays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Slow Living Expo
Cheese Demo Tent
Saturday, June 7, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Cheese is always a great attraction at the Stroll and this year we
will be honoring it in a new way at
our Cheese Demo Tent, presented by the Brattleboro Food Coop,
Cabot Creamery and Grafton
Village Cheese with participation
from the Vermont Cheese Council
and individual cheese makers.
Meet the heifers up close and personal at the Slow Living Expo on the Brattleboro Common and the Brattleboro
Retreat grounds — 11 acres of fun, food, entertainment and
exhibits. The Expo features local food producers, regional
craftspeople, cheese producers from all over New England,
a forestry exhibit, four separate entertainment tents, cooking demonstrations, continuous shows by the New England
Center for Circus Arts, and much more.
Arrive early for the parade, stake out your viewing spot (a
blanket or beach chairs will reserve your space) and enjoy
the Pete & Gerry’s famous organic breakfast on the Common (coffee is hot starting at 7 a.m.). Other vendors open
by 9 a.m., and the festivities continue until 4 p.m.
(By the way, don’t forget we have convenient shuttle parking
lots available near Exits 1 and 2 — check out information
about them on Page 4. Shuttle buses depart from the Expo
to the parking areas until 4:50 p.m., so no need to leave
early!)

We’ve partnered with five special farms in the Brattleboro area to offer this year’s
Stroll Weekend Farm Tour, which takes place from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sunday,
June 8. Each of these farms has something unique to offer, will welcome you and
show you around.
Space is limited, so reservations are required! If the tours are not fully booked, we'll
have registration tables at the Slow Living Expo on Saturday, and at the Marina
Restaurant Sunday morning.
Please plan your visits around the guided tours times listed. Some of the farms have
farm stores you can visit at other times, but the Farm Tour activities are mainly
geared around the scheduled guided tours.

center of an extended Farm Family, consisting of our clients, our agricultural
partners, and our students; working
together to foster a sense of place and
identity, while preserving and extending
the traditional New England ways of life.
The four of us have different, overlapping
areas of expertise, which we bring to our
new farm venture. A Putney native, Noah
has worked with animals his entire life.
He worked at the Elm Lea Farm at the
Putney School on dairy and meat operations, and with the help of Mike Euphrat
has run a successful small-scale direct
market meat business at Small Meadows
Farm for the last several years. Mike
Euphrat, hailing from Brattleboro, has
worked at Walker Farm for the last six
years and works for Fraser Cooper- Ellis
during the sugaring season. He has a
wealth of knowledge and ability in both
vegetable and maple production. Helen
O’Donnell runs a thriving annual and
perennial garden design and installation
business. She has worked closely with
24
Gordon Hayward for the last five years,
and has studied cutting edge garden
design extensively at the Great Dixter
gardens in England. Jen O’Donnell is an
elementary school teacher at the Putney
Central School and is currently working
on designing a regional farm-to-school
curriculum that would help students
develop a sense of place here in their
rural community.
The Bunker Farm is comprised of five
diverse lines of operation. Our centerpiece products are natural, pasture
raised meat and poultry – direct marketed through Horizontal Networking
Partnerships (HNP) with local restaurants, co-ops, and farm stands, and
through our FFM (Farm Family
Membership) program. In addition, we
have prepared the beds to grow and sell
vegetables to existing community farm
stands and co-ops, filling seasonal and
soil-based gaps in their existing product
lines. Bunker Farm also produces and
sells specialty annual and perennial flowers, as well as forestry products, including sap and firewood to sugar makers
and other customers. Finally, The Bunker
Farm hosts educational and community
outreach events, seeking to enhance
agricultural education, connecting students and residents to their local environment and to farming as a way of life.
The farm tour will include a pasture walk
and conversation about rotational grazing, and walk through the vegetable
fields, nursery and greenhouse. We will
have chicken, pork, beef, and flowers
available for purchase. Please stop by
the farm to check out the progress or
introduce yourselves; we look forward to
meeting you!
Directions: From Brattleboro, head north
on Rte 5 (Putney Rd). At traffic circle,
continue north on Rte 5 for 3.5 miles.
Make a left on Schoolhouse Rd. After
approximately 1 mile, make a right on
Miller Rd. After 1.8 miles, bear left to
continue on Miller Rd. Make a right at
stop sign onto Bunker Rd. The farm is

2. The Robb Family Farm
827 Ames Hill Road
West Brattleboro, VT
Farmers: Helen and Charles Robb St.,
Charles Robb Jr. and Karen Robb
The Robb Family has been faming on our
land in West Brattleboro for more than
100 years. Our farm was established in
1907 by Thomas and Christine Betterly,
Hermon Robb’s grandparents. The large
barn was moved from Halifax in 1912
and the farmhouse was built in 1914.
Currently two generations of Robbs are
the farm’s owners and stewards. We are
committed to honoring and continuing
the family tradition – to raise and care for
our animals and our land in order to provide the freshest and healthiest product
to the families in our community.
Over the years our family has recognized
the value of eating naturally grown foods
and buying local products – keeping
both our bodies and the local community
healthy.
After 105 years of milking Holsteins,
Robb Family Farm ended its dairy operation to focus on maple syrup products
and naturally grown meats. Our cattle
are a mix of Herford, Simmental, and
Charolaise. The combination of these
breeds allows us the unique ability to
produce a top quality product. Our cattle are pastured and are not fed any
grain. We now offer an assortment of
beef products, as well as pastured chicken, containing no preservatives, antibiotics or hormones.
Each spring, just as the blush of new life
begins to show in the Vermont country-
side, sugaring time starts at the Robb
farm. The Robb Farm produces 100%
pure and natural maple syrup with nothing added, free of contaminants – that
means, no formaldehyde, pesticides or
chemicals. The Robb Family has been
maple sugaring for generations, practicing sound woodland stewardship, taking
great pride in the hard work required to
bring you the very finest pure maple
syrup. Charlie Jr. collects the sap and
then the sap is slowly boiled down the
traditional way, with a wood-fired arch.
The sugarhouse is a special feature of
this six generation farm. Built in February
1998, to replace the old 1920′s sugarhouse that “gave up”, it was decided to
make it a little more accessible to the
road. We are ramping up our operation
from 2200 taps to 8500 taps. We have
also converted part of the old milking
room into a kitchen where we will be
making all of our value-added products
such as maple candy, maple ice cream
topping, maple cream, granulated maple
sugar and maple coated nuts.
Directions: From Brattleboro, take Rte 9
West. In the center of West Brattleboro,
at the 7-Eleven store (1.3 miles from
Exit 2 on I-91) turn left onto Greenleaf
St. After approximately 1.5 miles, go
straight onto Ames Hill Rd (dirt). At first
corner, bear right. At next corner, bear
left. Farm is approx. 1 mile on right and
only 3 miles from Rte 9.
3. The Franklin Farm
4708 Weatherhead Hollow Road
Guilford, VT
Farmers: David and Mary Ellen Franklin
The Franklin Farm is a certified organic
family farm located in Guilford. The old
farmhouse, big red barns and rolling
green fields sit steadfast, surrounded
by well-worn hills. Franklins have
farmed in Guilford for eight generations. For our family, farming is a way of
life. We love our work and are proud of
what we do. As farmers deeply rooted
in the landscape and in our community,
our goals are simple: to enjoy what we
do, produce food of the highest quality,
and leave this farm better than when
we started here. We work together as a
family to keep our milk cows and their
offspring healthy and happy, to increase
the fertility of our soils, and to make the
highest quality, best tasting Vermont
maple syrup.
The Franklin Farm has been a proud
farmer/member/owner of the Organic
Valley Cooperative since 2004, and our
Holstein-Normande dairy cows happily
produce milk for the cooperative. At our
farm store, located in our refurbished
milk house, our friends, neighbors and
visitors from afar are welcome to purchase our handcrafted wood-fired
maple syrup products, farm-fresh eggs,
and homemade Zesty Blend Dressing.
On Farm Tour Day, visitors will learn
about our dairy operation – from our
barns to our pastures where our cows
are rotationally grazed. We’ll also
include a visit to our pigs and laying
hens.
Directions: From I-91, take exit 1. Go
south 1.4 miles on Rte 5. Make a right
onto Guilford Center Rd. Proceed 1.7
miles and make a left onto
Weatherhead Hollow Rd (1.75 miles
from Rte 5). Proceed 4.7 miles, make
a right onto Franklin Farm. The farm is
about 7 miles from I-91.
4. Cortland Hill Orchard
72 Miller Road
West Brattleboro VT
Farmers: Nancy Miller and Dean Miller
Cortland Hill is a small family owned
orchard located in the hills of West
Brattleboro. We sometimes think of it
as Brattleboro’s best kept secret.
Growing peaches, plums and apples
on this site, our farm goes back three
generations. If one goes back to Great
Grandfather, Joseph Arms who lived in
Dummerston, the family tradition goes
back at least 4 generations. The apple
trees were planted by Francis Miller in
1984 and 85 on the “homeplace”
located off Bonnyvale Road. The
peaches, nectarines and plums we
grow are grown and picked by Dean
Miller, who has taken over the fruit trees
from his father. Our small family-owned
retail shop located across from the
house sells jams, pumpkins, peaches,
25
apples, plums and other related items in
season. We welcome the public to ‘pick
your own’ apples. Many people have
made it a family tradition and come year
after year.
We have these varieties and a few others – Paula Reds, McIntosh, Cortland,
Twenty Ounce, Rhode Island Greening,
Northern Spy, and Empire. Some of
these are heirloom varieties. We use the
Integrated Pest Management System
recommendations from UVM and used
the lowest amount of spray possible.
Apple history and lore is a fun, fascinating pastime for us and we welcome visitors to our small farm during the Strolling
of the Heifers farm tours.
Directions: From Brattleboro, head west
on Rte 9/Western Ave. In West
Brattleboro, just past the white First
Congregational Church (1.1 miles west
of Exit 2, I-91), turn left onto Bonnyvale
Rd. Proceed 1.7 miles. When road
curves at top of hill, continue straight
onto Miller Rd. Farm is just ahead.
About 4 miles from downtown
Brattleboro.
Deer Ridge Farm is a small farm and
sugarhouse just outside of
Brattleboro,Vermont. We make pure
Vermont maple syrup and grow cut flowers, berries and vegetables as well as
eggs and honey. We take pride in our
high quality products and great care for
our soils, wildlife, community.
Deer Ridge Farm also offers fresh, lively
flowers for weddings, graduations and
other events. If you want local organically-grown flowers custom cut and
arranged, we look forward to working
with you!
5. Deer Ridge Farm
4057 Hinesburg Road
Guilford, VT 05301
Farmers: Lisa Holderness and Jerry
Smith
We are lucky to have a community that
loves our food and flowers, and which
appreciates our work and humor. It is a
truly gifted life we lead, and one we
enjoy sharing with Farm Campers,
school groups, and other farm visitors.
and a nice little walk through their historic orchard and fields with views. Jerry
and Lisa will offer maple tasting, tips on
season extension, a nice walk, and happily answer your questions. Jerry has

when they met, and has a special interest in the farm’s energy systems and
sustainability. Together they welcome

SLOW LIVING SUMMIT
The Summit is a conference about connections
that make communities resilient, sustainable
and strong. It takes place Wednesday, June 4
through Friday, June 6 in downtown
Brattleboro. Full schedule and registration is
available at www.slowlivingsummit.org.
The Summit's plenary sessions will feature unique collaborations between
speakers and artists. There will be no Powerpoints! Instead, every plenary
speaker is paired with one or more artists — musicians, actors, dancers, visual
artists — who will interpret and amplify the spoken messages and stories. Artistic
content will be woven into Summit, not as preludes or warm-ups, but as a
seamless, natural part of the Summit’s fabric. We're not even sure what the
result will be, but it's going to be exciting!
The following plenary sessions (and one film showing) will be at the Latchis
Theatre and are open to the public, with a suggested donation of $15.
Wed., June 4 at 6:15 PM — "The Well Being: Health, Healing and Community" —
Samantha Eagle, founder and medical director of Biologic Integrative Healthcare

Eisenstein, author of The More Beautiful World Our Hearts Know Is Possible, The
Ascent of Humanity, Sacred Economics, and The Yoga of Eating, with artistic
collaborator Eugene Friesen, world-renowned cellist known for his groundbreaking improvisational work and long-time work with the Paul Winter Consort.
Welcome to the grounds of
the Brattleboro Retreat!
We are proud to once again support the Strolling of the
Heifers. For generations, family farms have been part of the
fabric of life in Vermont. Our health, culture, and economic
well-being depend on our local farmers and the livestock
they tend.
Strolling of the Heifers is an important annual celebration
of local farms and the delicious local foods they produce.
Please enjoy the beautiful grounds of the Retreat as you
take in the sights and sounds of both the Slow Living Expo
and the Stroll.
And, like the farms and farmers we are here to honor, also
keep in mind that the Retreat is another Vermont institution
that has been helping people, families, and communities in
need since 1834.
