Type: Honey Festival
St. Johnsbury — the shire town of Vermont's Caledonia County and the cultural heart of the Northeast Kingdom, where the Sleepers River and Passumpsic River join the Connecticut River corridor and where the Fairbanks Museum & Planetarium, founded 1891, anchors a community that has long celebrated the natural world through science, agriculture, and Yankee craftsmanship: apple blossom honey from the heritage apple orchards of Caledonia County's hillside farms where 19th-century varieties still bloom each May to produce Vermont's most delicate spring varietal, basswood honey from the American linden trees that line the Passumpsic River valley and produce an intensely aromatic summer honey beloved by Vermont honey connoisseurs, goldenrod honey from the late-summer meadows and old-field successional habitats of the Northeast Kingdom's agricultural landscape, wild blueberry blossom honey from the lowbush blueberry barrens of the Caledonia County uplands where granitic soils support exceptional wild blueberry communities, and boreal wildflower honey from the mixed conifer-hardwood forests of the Northeast Kingdom where the botanical transition between temperate and boreal zones creates extraordinary honey terroir. This August festival at the Fairbanks Museum grounds celebrates St. Johnsbury's extraordinary honey heritage through beekeepers from Vermont's Northeast Kingdom, the Connecticut River Valley, and the Canadian border region, offering competitive honey shows, guided tastings of Kingdom honey varieties, and educational programs on beekeeping in boreal-edge ecosystems.
