Share the Harvest One Neighbor Helping Another

NOFA Vermont's fifteenth annual Share the Harvest a success!

The fifteenth annual Share the Harvest fundraiser was held October 1 to benefit NOFA-VT's Farm Share Program.  NOFA Vermont believes that all Vermonters should be able to eat local organic food, regardless of their income level, while also making sure farmers get a good wage for their hard work. The Farm Share program is a great way that low-income Vermonters can afford to purchase CSA (community supported agriculture) shares of fresh veggies from their local farmers. 

In 2009, the Farm Share Program served over 1,400 people statewide and 50 Vermont farms participated. This year we’ve seen more need for the program than ever before: demand for the program was more than NOFA-VT could financially support and we had to start a waiting list. The Farm Share Program is funded by the annual Share the Harvest fundraiser. 

On Thursday, October 1st, eighty three great restaurants and food stores participated in Share the Harvest by donating a portion of their day’s sales to Farm Share. We thank these participants and all of the people who dined or shopped at participating establishments. If you were not able to participate and would like to make a donation please Use this coupon to make a donation. 

Thank you for your support!
