New Shopping How-tos

In these unprecedented times, we are buoyed by both the incredible words and actions of support from all of you as well as the increased interest in local food. While we know we have the much easier and safer job producing and delivering food from a small regenerative farm compared to all of the healthcare […]

Providing and Nourishing while we all #Flattenthecurve

Our farm community is small and a beautiful result is that when we write this note we see YOUR face! It brings us so much joy and wholeness to provision folks whose nourishment goals are known to us. Your stories help shape and reinforce our practices. Simultaneously we appreciate your solidarity with our farm and […]

The Joy of Partnerships!

As we prepare to celebrate our 10th anniversary as a farm, we have been reflecting on the many partnerships that have made it all possible. We are so thrilled for our past, ongoing and new partnerships with an amazing crew of farmers, producers, chefs, cooks, neighbors, musicians, butchers, shoppers, contractors, service providers and more who […]

Bright New Provisioning Possibilities

Back in January a malfunction in our farmstand freezer dimmed our mood and subsequently made shopping in the farmstand a bit like a treasure hunt!

A Needed Spot of Joy

It has been a hard week for many farmers in Vermont due to the flooding last weekend.  It does pain us to see images of flooded pastures and crop fields, knowing how much work has gone into those areas this spring and early summer.  We feel fortunate to be only dealing with the volume of […]

Radiating Influence

A visit from “retreating” (advancing?) members of the Intervale’s Board of Directors last week gave us a refreshing opportunity to reflect in the middle of an action-packed week. We left the exchange inspired by the conversations. We were asked “How has the work of the Intervale Center influenced your farm?” First of all, Intervale’s slogan […]

Coming Together
