Vermont Hemp Fest – New England's Premier Hemp and Cannabis Convention

Welcome To Our First Virtual Vermont Hemp Fest.

Vermont Hemp Fest promotes working landscapes and economic development, especially in rural northern New England, and cultivates a thriving, inclusive hemp + cannabis industry.

Join us for our first-ever Virtual Vermont Hemp Fest, which includes interactive booths, a diverse programming lineup and more to be announced soon! This year, we’re expanding our programming to include adult use cannabis and social justice, and we’re bringing in speakers from across the country.

We’ll also be offering networking sessions specifically for farmers, product makers and processors to facilitate networking and sales.

With affordable exhibiting options, Virtual Hemp Fest offers a safe way to get your name in front of attendees without all the work of lugging your stuff back and forth from a venue. This year, we are also offering reduced exhibiting fees for BIPOC-owned businesses. Check out our exhibitors page to learn more!

Shout out to Burke Mountain Hotel and Resort for hosting our first three years of Hemp Fest!

Valuable Tools for Hemp Businesses

This year’s programming includes need-to-know info about changes in federal and state regulation, transitioning to the adult use market, best practices for growers and makers, advocacy and social justice — and how to navigate the unique and rapidly changing agricultural landscape of hemp and cannabis in the northeast. We’ll also have focused networking sessions for farmers, processors and product makers.

Staying Safe During COVID-19

Due to the ongoing pandemic, we’re disappointed that we can’t catch up in person with all the awesome folks we’ve gotten to know over the years. However, the event platform we are using enables live chats, networking, interactive booths and easy-to-access, Zoom-friendly livestreams.

Don’t forget – elevating this to a virtual space means hemp growers can interact with potential buyers from all over the country. We’ll be sharing more details as the event approaches – stay tuned!
