Honey Field Farm to host Farmer Olympics<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Honey Field Farm<\/a> on Butternut Road in Norwich is hosting the 6th Annual Farmer Olympics. The event, scheduled for August 31, is sponsored by the Northeast Organic Farming Association of Vermont, or NOFA-VT. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Farm teams will show off their finely-honed skills in events ranging from physical to cerebral to just plain ridiculous,” says Sunday’s article on vermontbiz.com<\/a>.The article quotes Zea Luce, NOFA-VT\u2019s Events & Engagement Coordinator, as saying: \u201cThe Farmer Olympics are all about joy, celebration, and connection.\u201d The event is exclusively for farmers. Mixed-farm teams are allowed. Register here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Norwich Inn featured in Seven Days ‘Staytripper’ series<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

This summer, the newspaper Seven Days is running a series of articles under the banner “Staytripper, The Road Map to Rediscovering Vermont.” <\/a>Staff writer Sally Pollak wrote a piece late last month about the Norwich Inn. She quotes co-owner Joe Lavin as saying, “In our market, there isn’t anything quite like us.” The article Historic Norwich Inn Welcomes Guest on Foot or by Car<\/em> is here<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Norwich resident part of Peace Corps ancestry<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

In his recent Then Again<\/em> column in VTDigger, Vermont historian Mark Bushnell\u00a0says the Peace Corps can “trace its ancestry<\/a> back to a short-lived, idealistic project undertaken in the foothills of Vermont.” That project was Camp William James in the Tunbridge area. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Norwich resident and Dartmouth professor Eugen Rosenstock-Huessy was a passionate supporter of philosopher William James idea of national service. With help from Rosenstock-Huessy, a number of his former students from Dartmouth and Harvard founded the short-lived Camp William James in 1940. The article Then Again: The idea behind a Vermont camp birthed the Peace Corps<\/em> is here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
