Welcome to Local First Vermont

Local First Vermont is a non-profit organization committed to preserving the character and prosperity of Vermont's economy, community networks and natural landscape.

Our Mission
is to preserve and enhance the economic, human and natural vitality of Vermont communities by promoting the importance of purchasing from locally-owned, independent businesses.  We achieve this through education of citizens, businesses and local governments.

Our Members
are retailers and service providers in towns and rural areas all around Vermont.  You can find them by looking for the Local First Vermont decal in their windows or logo on their websites or by sorting by "Local First Vermont" in our Membership Directory.
