#5) Build an equitable & fair food system

We raise awareness for eaters and community members about how to access and grow good food, and provide a suite of food access programs to ensure that all people in Vermont can afford to enjoy organic food at home and throughout Vermont's schools and other institutions

#6) Build community

We host events like our annual winter conference and travel the state with our mobile pizza oven to build community, share meals, and celebrate together. We work in coalition with other organizations to build people power and connection across sectors.

#7) Grow the movement

We build community engagement programs to develop agricultural awareness and move us towards an ecological food system that is for and by the local community. We work in a variety of settings: in schools (in classrooms and cafeterias), on farms, at farmers markets, in the statehouse, and around the kitchen table.
