Our Mission
Over 28 Years Of Supporting Local Food Partnerships
The Vermont Fresh Network is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization founded in 1996 with the mission of advancing relationships among farmers, chefs, and consumers to grow markets and eat more locally grown food.
Culinary professionals and food artisans play a key role in shaping our daily food lives and they present unique market opportunities for Vermont food producers.
We invest in the people and businesses who grow, raise, prepare, and bring Vermont’s food and drink to the table.
VFN looks for new ways for food producers, artisans, and chefs to share their stories, build partnerships, and reach new markets. We work to develop markets for Vermont farm products that do not yet have a strong foothold but have significant potential for the Vermont food economy.
We also build tools for travelers to find authentic Vermont food and farm experiences, to bridge connections between farms and consumers.
Our Vision
The Vermont Fresh Network (VFN) is dedicated to a flourishing local food system for the benefit of our environment, our communities, our health, and the overall strength of the rural economy.
