Northeast Kingdom Gravel Feast
Explore Northeast Vermont’s Famous Gravel & Sample Farm-Fresh Flavors
Join us and our hosts at Firefly Farm on August 23, 2025 for an intimate gravel and culinary adventure in the heart of Vermont! We’ll ride quiet backroads, then meet up for a farm tour and finish with a fresh meal featuring produce harvested on-site. In order to create a more personal experience, dinner will be limited to 32 people.
Our ride will start and end at Firefly Farm. The route is designed to be challenging yet rewarding, perfect for riders with some gravel experience. We offer two ride length options to suit your preference: ~15 and ~40 miles. While the ride is self-supported, food/water stops will be marked and there will be a support vehicle on course.
A Culinary Finale at Firefly Farm
After your ride, connect with the farmers who cultivate the land and produce the food on your plate. Hear their stories, learn about their sustainable practices, and gain a deeper appreciation for the journey from field to fork. Then enjoy a thoughtfully prepared farm-to-table meal. Local chef Tim Loomis will craft a seasonal menu showcasing the freshest ingredients harvested directly from the farm.
