Building increased resilience in Vermont’s food system through agricultural surplus management.

You’re Invited!

As we look toward the transition of our Founding Director – we are seeking opportunities to gather with our community.

Salvation Farms is hosting the last virtual gathering in a four-part series, on March 28th starting at 6pm EST… we hope to see you there!

And, we are hosting a pie breakfast in our local community – Saturday, March 30th, 9-11am at the Morrisville VFW.

This is bound to be a delicious time gathering with friends, eating pie, and enjoying stories and songs from local favorite, Rusty DeWees.

Our Goals:

 

  • Reduce food loss on farms

  • Increase use of locally grown foods

  • Foster an appreciation for Vermont’s agricultural heritage and future

  • Support a more socially and environmentally just food system

Our Philosophy:

We believe that farms are, were, and always will be our salvation; diversified farms are the cornerstones of healthy, wholesome, and stable communities and cultures. We believe the best way to build lasting change in the food system is to involve people in the process of moving food from farms to eaters.

Our Inspiration:

 

Our work is rooted in sustainable agriculture, natural resource management, and experiential education.
