Rural Vermont “is for a Vermont local food system which is self-reliant and based on reverence for the earth.” We educate consumers about barriers that farmers face when trying to sell direct, and educate farmers about legalities of selling direct to consumers. We work to remove unfair and costly regulatory barriers that keep wholesome, high quality, local food from being sold to those who want it, and we advocate for legislation that creates tiered regulations for the direct sale of farm products, leveling the playing field for farms large and small. Join Rural Vermont in our farmer driven campaigns.
