See you at Summervale! Director Healthy Land 2012 Expanding Our Reach We hosted visitors ranging from USDA Administrator Dave Shipman and Vermont Secretary of Agriculture Chuck Ross to groups from China, Russia, and Switzerland this year. Nationally and globally, we are a model for what a strong community food system can look like! We sustainably manage 350 acres of floodplain in the heart of Burlington, Vermont, dedicated to agriculture, recreation and conservation. In 2012, 10 Intervale farms provided our community with over $1.3 million in delicious fresh food. A Swiss delegation was interested in our innovative Intervale Food Hub model Our Intervale Conservation Nursery grew, planted and donated over 30,000 trees and shrubs to restore Vermont’s native landscape. That’s about 60 football fields of protected riverbank! Growing Farm Businesses Meet Maggie Donin, our Beginning Farmer Specialist. She joined our staff in 2012 to expand our Farms Program, recruit new Intervale farmers and provide support to beginning farmers across the state. We’re excited to welcome two incubator farms to the Intervale community in Spring 2013. From family dairy farms to pasture-raised meat producers and New American vegetable farms, we worked with over 100 aspiring and established farmers in 2012, helping them strengthen and develop their businesses. One of our favorite success stories is that of the DeVos family of Kimball Brook Farm, whom Travis worked with in 2007 to plan their expansion from a family-run organic dairy to one of the state’s largest organic milk bottling operations. Today, their products are distributed to grocery stores throughout Northern New England. Getting Good Food to More Vermonters Taken on December 3, this photo (right) shows S.D. Ireland pouring and preparing the barn’s foundation. The barn’s first tenant, the Intervale Food Hub, helped 40 farms reach 1,000 members at 30 workplace drop-off points in Chittenden County, including public schools and colleges. This innovative business returned about $300,000 directly to Vermont farmers. Fresh, Sustainable Food for All Ensuring Access... We’ve pushed the limits of food access this year: whether to lowincome families, professionals, or college students, we’re working hard to make sure that the best local food is available to anyone who wants it.
