Register today for the 10th Annual Vermont Open Farm Week!

In case you missed it...VFN has a new website! Thanks to some funding from a Specialty Crop Block Grant through the Vermont Agency of Agriculture, Food, and Markets, we've been working hard to make our online presence better match the vibrancy of Vermont's food and farm community. Check out our industry work and public-facing programming , learn about our organization and history , view our events calendar and blog , and explore our member directory ! As a part of this project, we've also implemented a new membership management system, which makes it easier for our members to access VFN resources and benefits, submit events to the industry events calendar, share your news and updates with our team, and more. VFN members - this blog post is intended to serve as a guide to help you set up your account in VFN's new system, and explore and access your members-only resources and the member business-to-business directory.
