The Intervale Community Barn, 180 Intervale Rd, Burlington, VT 05401
Join VBSR and The Intervale to connect with friends and colleagues and hear from a panel of experts as we discuss trends and predictions for the future of Vermont’s food and farm economy.
Food and agriculture businesses are deeply interconnected with Vermont’s economy, culture and land use. A strong local farm and food sector isn’t just about farmers—it’s about restaurants, grocers, distributors, tourism and manufacturing. Our agricultural heritage is knitted into the fabric of our communities.
VBSR was a lead supporter of the Farm to Plate initiative over 15 years ago. Where has the food and farm economy come since then, and where are we headed? We’ll learn about current trends from some of Vermont’s foremost food system leaders and press them for their predictions on what’s next to come.
