Children at the Conference

Children’s Conference

Saturday 8 am–5 pm & Sunday 8:30 am–5 pm • Aiken Center

We invite the next generation of farmers, gardeners, and food lovers (ages 5–12) to join us for hands-on workshops, art-making, and play. Thanks to support from the Johnson Family Foundation, we are able to offer a sliding scale of $0–$30 per child!

Nursing Room

Kids' Break Room

On the 1st floor of the Davis Center (down the hall from registration) there is a nursing room, if nursing mothers would prefer a private, quiet location to put their feet up with their babies or pump. Get the key from the UVM information kiosk in the Burack Fireplace Lounge on the first floor of the Davis Center.

Davis Center, 4th Floor, Handy Room • Of course, children of any age are invited to accompany adults to workshops, but please keep distractions to a minimum. If your child needs a “break,” let ‘em romp with other kids in the kids’ break room! The room is open all day. Toys and books will be available, but childcare is not provided. Please supervise your child at all times.
