Communities and the Land


(PDF, 4.9 Mb)  Vermont leads the nation in per-capita direct sales of produce from farmers to consumers.  By supporting Vermont-grown products, you are making a lasting difference in your community and the landscape of Vermont and keeping your hard earned dollars in the state.  Whether you join community supported agriculture (CSA), buy produce at the farmers market, frequent your community’s general store or purchase products from a local business owner, you are helping to keep our rural landscape a viable economic force.  If you are unsure of where to get started, our publication, Communities and the Land provides examples and stories of what other individuals and towns are doing to strengthen the connections with the working landscape.  Coming soon will be an on-line resource of up-to-date stories and resources.
