Two local farm stands will each receive $500 in local currency, and you get to help us choose them!
Our community is home to many farms, makers, and bakers, and most of those small and micro businesses have stands that operate on the honor system. Honor-system farm stands are a unique part of our community, and we appreciate the trust, hard work, and dedication that make them possible.
Harvest is winding down, and some of these farm stands are getting ready to close for the colder months. We want to say thank you to the hardworking folks who nourish us.
So, what's your favorite farm stand? Comment below with the name and the town, and why you love it, and two of them will receive $500 in local currency! We want to hear your stories!
One will be the stand with the most nominations, and one will be chosen at random from your nominations. To keep it local, the prize comes as local currency (Middlebury Money, Vergennes Green, Brandon Bucks, Bristol Bucks) so every dollar goes straight back into our local businesses. 🧡
Comments close Sunday, November 1 at 12:00 PM. The two winning farm stands (the one with the most nominations and one selected at random from all nominations) will be announced on Monday, November 2. Each prize is $500 in the local currency of the winner’s choice. This giveaway is not sponsored, endorsed, or administered by Instagram or Facebook. National Bank of Middlebury employees and their households are not eligible. Winners must be able to pick up their prize at one of our branch locations. Must be 18 years or older to nominate. No purchase necessary. Member FDIC.
