Let’s break down the barriers that prevent rural eaters from accessing nutrient dense local food.
Building a resilient ecosystem across farmers, eaters, and neighbors supporting environmental, economic, social and personal health.
Over the past two years, we’ve provided over 250 families with gift cards to 10 different farm stands throughout Vermont. We believe in eliminating complicated applications and barriers to choice. The gift cards work like any other gift card: eaters apply for the farm stand of their choice and once they receive their gift card, they use it for what they want, when they want.
We partner with farm stands who pride themselves on rigorous organic practices—often those with the add-on label of Real Organic-and who grow food in ways that cultivates the surrounding natural ecosystem of their farm. Our partner farms’ produce, fruit and meat is both nutrient dense and transparent.
We work with community partners in each farm’s region to further connect eaters to these farms.
