What are the food options?

Goatacado!!! At shakedown by the ga entrance last year. They told me they were expecting to be back and I hope they are. Healthy energy food: bed of greens w quinoa topped w a few different combinations of stuff on top. I'm hoping they are placed on the concert field. They've become my favorite fest food.

sneake, you gotta show me where them pies are

there's always one cheap, awesome food at every festival, and they were the one at lockn. was like $4 for a pot pie and they had probably 5 different kinds. they were in the "local" tent right between the food and goods vendors, where all the local breweries were setup. i really hope they come back this year. they were a lifesaver

Edited from articles found on the web:

Last year, there were also 18 local restaurants that provided food and beverages at the festival.
 Three vendors specifically were from Nelson County: The Blue Toad Pub, from Afton; Barefoot Bucha, from Nellysford; and The Rock Barn, from Arrington. If all goes according to plan, this year the festival will host a Brewers Village that will give 16 to 18 participants the chance to have more slow-paced engagement with consumers. The festival is looking to have local craft brews account for a high percentage of beer options. The concert field is surrounded on all sides by many kinds of festival merchandise, craft beer vendors and wine and cider distilleries and locally sourced food vendors. One huge tent, directly to the back of the concert field, housed local vendors such as The Rockbarn Butchery, The Blue Toad and Blue Ridge Kettle Korn (yum!). Starr Hill Brewery and Wild Wolf Brewing Company were two outstanding local breweries that offered delicious beverages. Out round about the concert field you could choose from Asian Sensation, Jack Brown’s Beer & Burger Joint or Outback Kate’s (delicious Three-Cheese Mac & Cheese)

Those Australian Meat Pies from The Pie Guy were amazing...really hoping I'll be able to enjoy them again this year

Thanks for the time spent to compile this info! Glad to hear that they are supporting local brewers and food vendors, so important!

i officially endorse spicy pie

No way. I want my green curry like the natives eat it!

normally i would be right on board with this. however, at festivals i tend to try to tone it down a little bit. a raw butthole can really be a downer on a festival weekend, lol

All right, since so many have been so brutally honest about their ostomies, I'll come clean about something: I suffer from irritable bowel syndrome. I always have a raw butthole. 8-(

And for those that have chronic gas, I wish they made tic-tac suppositories!
