Veggiestock is a free annual food and garden festival, presented by the Windham Community Food Network.
This is a celebration of the growing season, of our local food system, and of the community gardens at Lauter Park! And an opportunity for local artisans, musicians, non-profits, and food vendors to share their talents.
Share in the free seedlings, and grow your own food up from the earth! Practice abundance, and share your harvests with the community through Plant-A-Row!
​
Join us Saturday June 6th from 10 AM - 2 PM for a day of food, music, festivities and gardens!
Come experience the variety of activities below!
Come, and thicken your bonds with the communities of Willimantic!

We believe everyone should have the opportunity to grow their own food. This is why we distribute FREE seedlings (first come first serve)! While it’s not mandatory, we ask anyone who receives these free resources to participate in our Plant-A-Row program.
Join Jordan Saucier, local plant enthusiast, on a walk through our Thread City Community Garden. Learn how to identify local native and invasive species and their qualities!
The GROW Windham Youth CORE will lead tours of their garden, established in 2016. This is where they grow fruits, vegetables, and edible fungi for the Windham community-- through sales and food assistance programs through the year!
