Who We Are

Burlington School Food Project is Vermont’s largest farm to school program, encompassing the entire Burlington School District. It is widely recognized as a model program for the rest of the state and country. Its mission is to connect students and their families with whole, fresh, and local foods to improve the health of the community. The district-wide effort employs a farm to school coordinator for its food service program and benefits from varied input of multiple community partners: Burlington School District, Shelburne Farms’ Sustainable School Project, Friends of Burlington Gardens and Healthy City Youth Initiative, City Market/Onion River Co-op, Vermont FEED, and many dedicated community volunteers.

Vermont Food Education Every Day (Vermont FEED) is a Farm to School program run as a partnership of three Vermont non-profit organizations: Food Works at Two Rivers Center, Northeast Organic Farming Association of Vermont (NOFA-VT), and Shelburne Farms. Vermont FEED works will schools and communities to raise awareness about healthy food, the role of Vermont farms and farmers, and good nutrition. We act as a catalyst for rebuilding healthy food systems, and to cultivate links between classrooms, cafeterias, local farms, and communities.
