Burlington, Vt. – Deck the halls with Heady Vermont as we launch a holiday weekend devoted to Vermont hemp and CBD.

Our second annual holiday edition of the the CBD Hemp Farmers Market will be Saturday, December 8 from 12:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. at Contois Auditorium in Burlington, supported by the Wintermute Cannabis Collective. Attendance is free to the public and we’ll be featuring a diverse group of 30 confirmed local CBD and hemp producers, farmers, and curious citizens and visitors – all continuing their efforts to bring CBD education to the public and foster positive dialogue between the burgeoning hemp industry and the citizens of Vermont.

Many of the 30 vendors are Heady Vermont business partners who offer discounts to Heady Vermont members. Discounted memberships are currently available for purchase at the Heady Vermont website, and can also be obtained on Saturday at the Heady Vermont table.

In addition to the 30 vendors, we’ll have a Story Booth where people can share their Tales Of Cannabis – growing, using, playing, or healing. These stories will comprise the December episode of Unhidden – our curious cannabis podcast.

There will also be a gift-wrapping station – with donated proceeds going to the Pennywise Foundation in support of cannabis conviction expungements, and a rosin pressing demo at 1pm, presented by Mansfield Provisions.

The Farmers Market is supported by the Wintermute Cannabis Collective.

Sunday, December 9 starts with a Vermont Hemp Farm Brunch at the Waterfront Skinny Pancake, with specials from the kitchen featuring hemp-infused items from local Vermont farms. Sunday’s special brunch menu will last from open at 8 a.m. until supplies run out! There will also be CBD-infused food products for sale, and live music.

Heady Vermont members get 10% off at Skinny Pancake when they show their membership card.

Following the brunch, Heady Vermont is partnering with cannabis activist Rick Trojan on a screening of his powerful documentary The Hemp Road Trip at The Film house at Main Street Landing, with showings at 2 and 5 pm.

The Hemp Road Trip documents Trojan’s multi-year, 48-state bus tour to increase awareness of industrial hemp, educate the public, influence policy makers, and promote economic growth opportunities by ending the prohibition and misunderstanding of industrial hemp.

Tickets for the film are $10 at the door or at EventBrite, with a special surprise gift for Heady Vermont members.

In between screenings, at 3pm, we’ll have a panel discussion discussing the new federal Farm Bill and its implications for Vermont hemp farmers. The panel will feature a variety of hemp experts, including staffers from the office of Senator Bernie Sanders.
