Join Us for Our Summer In-person Workshop
What if our economy was designed to ensure quality of life, dignity, purpose, and belonging for everyone, in harmony with thriving natural ecosystems?
Join the Wellbeing Economy Alliance of Vermont for a free, half-day workshop and dialogue at Fable Farm in Barnard: Shaping an Economy that Works for Us All.
In the 2026 Vermonter Poll, administered by the Vermont 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.” We’ll 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.
This workshop runs from 1:00-5:00pm in and around the big barn. You can anticipate snacks and beverages, facilitated dialogue, and workshop presentations.
This is a free event, and all are welcome. RSVP here to reserve a ticket.
We invite you to join us after the workshop for Fable Farm’s weekly Feast & Field live music and food event, starting at 5:30, and bringing neighbors together across the Upper Valley and beyond.
