Farms in Vermont

Vermont has made a societal choice to support farming that few other states have matched — the Act 250 land use law, the Working Lands Enterprise initiative, the Farm to Plate network, and a culture that consistently votes with its dollars for local food have combined to maintain a farming landscape that is both economically viable and ecologically rich. Vermont farms produce food of genuine quality, shaped by cold winters that concentrate sugars in apples and maple sap, the fertility of Champlain Valley glacial soils, and the care of farmers who have chosen Vermont's particular combination of beauty and challenge as their life's context. Buying from Vermont farms supports a model of agriculture that the rest of the country is trying to learn from.
