The Food Hub is a collaboration between the Intervale Center and local farmers. It began as a research project of the Intervale Center in 2007. The goal was to identify the existing barriers and opportunities to increasing local food production and consumption and find appropriate solutions for moving local food forward in Chittenden County.
Based on farm and market interest, we chose to focus on developing a farmer collaborative that would aggregate, market and distribute local foods to the surrounding community in a way that ensures fair prices for farmers.
By working together, farmers are able to benefit by providing the community with increased crop diversity and greater customer service that may not be possible with a single farmer. In addition, multiple farmers working together benefit from economies of scale in both marketing and distribution, allowing them more time to focus on production.
Through both the multi-farm CSA and wholesale markets, the Food Hub remains committed to marketing and delivering the highest quality local foods while ensuring fair prices are returned to farmers. To learn more about participating farms, visit Our Producers page.
