Orwell Food & Farm Fest

The Orwell Food Fest is a summer farmers’ market and community festival designed to boost food system resiliency and celebrate Orwell and area, producers and makers. By connecting area residents with local farmers and artisans, the Food Fest will raise awareness of local food systems, provide a new market and food source, and support the local economy.
