Join the Wellbeing Economy Alliance of Vermont for this free, half-day workshop and dialogue at Fable Farm in Barnard. The event – For All of Us: Shaping an Economy for Wellbeing – will be held August 13th from 1-5pm in and around the big barn with snacks and beverages, facilitated dialogue, and workshop presentations.

In the 2026 Vermonter Poll administered by the VT Center for Rural Studies, 67% of respondents strongly agreed that “Vermont’s economic focus should prioritize the health and wellbeing of people, communities, and nature, rather than focusing mainly on maximizing profits and individual wealth accumulation.”

Event participants will explore the assumptions and goals underpinning our current economic system, reimagine what the purpose of our economy really is, and consider what it might look like to cultivate a “wellbeing economy” in Vermont. RSVP here to reserve a ticket. All are welcome!

After the workshop, stay for Fable Farm’s weekly Feast & Field live music and food event starting at 5:30pm which brings neighbors together across the Upper Valley and beyond.
