Along a rugged dirt road in the southern Vermont town of Wardsboro is the old Gilfeather farm, where the famous Gilfeather turnip first sprouted in the early 1900s. The turnip, cultivated by farmer John Gilfeather, became the official Vermont State Vegetable in 2016. It’s celebrated every fall at the Gilfeather Turnip Festival in October. The festival, which started in 2002, draws visitors from around the region. This year, visitors will enjoy a scaled-down outdoor festival on Saturday, Oct. 23, 2021 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Wardsboro Public Library on Main Street. -The turnip festival in Wardsboro started in 2002.
