Open Studio Weekend is Next Weekend!

Please join us next weekend, Thursday, May 22nd, through Sunday, May 25th, 10 am - 5 pm, as we celebrate the Grand Opening of our Soap Studio during Open Studio Weekend!

We have participated in Open Studio Weekend at our farm in Georgia for many years, but this year we are moving the event to our new studio in downtown Saint Albans.  Open Studio Weekend is a statewide event hosted by the Vermont Craft Council showcasing the working places of artists and artisans across the state.

In addition to studio tours, we will have ongoing discussions about soap making and related topics, special Grand Opening discounts and promotions, and our Third Annual Naked Soap Sale.  The Naked Soap Sale will begin at 10:00 am on Saturday.  All other promotions will be offered all four days.

Our Soap Studio is located at 118 N. Main Street, directly across the street from the new Ace Hardware store, one block north of City Hall.

For more information please contact us at info@chasworthfarm.com or 802.309.3778.

Fiddleheads Emerge

Gourmands, flannel-shirted country boys, and back-to-nature gatherers are all  taking to the woods and stream beds ...  It's fiddlehead season in Vermont!

If you've never tasted these delicacies, you're in for a real treat!  After a good wash and a quick blanch, gently sauté in butter or olive oil with a little garlic, and finish with some salt and perhaps a dusting of aged parmesan. Mmmm!

If you're not up to gathering your own, visit the first Burlington Summer Farmer's Market on Saturday.  I'm betting you'll find some fiddleheads already washed and ready for your skillet.

Market runs 8:30 am to 2:00 pm, City Hall Park.
