VSJF Sustainable Agriculture Grants & Projects

Vermont Fresh Network

When diners see the Vermont Fresh Network’s green decal in a restaurant’s window, they know they’re in for something special. “The Network exists,” says Executive Director Meghan Sheradin, “to address the problem of nameless, faceless food by connecting farmers and chefs together.” A VSJF grant was used to hire part-time staff to develop the organization and handle administrative activities, including membership outreach.

Today, more than 450 members, including 200 chefs and over 90 farmers, participate in this unique partnership that ensures that locally grown, fresh food is available in Vermont restaurants. Say goodbye to 3,000 mile salads, and hello to your neighbors!
