Supporting Non-Profits

Vermont Earth Institute

The Vermont Earth Institute educates and supports Vermonters to reduce consumption and adopt environmentally sustainable practices in their homes, workplaces and communities. Their site includes suggestions for starting a localvore group in your community, localvore recipes to sample, and lots of helpful links.

Vital Communities

Vital Communities works to engage citizens in community life and to foster the long-term balance of cultural, economic, environmental and social well-being in our region. Their site offers a monthly guide to finding locally grown foods, interesting articles, and a calendar of local ag events.

 

Other Support for Localvores

Check out the National Sustainable Agriculture Coalition's new Guide to USDA Funding for Local and Regional Food Systems (PDF), which identifies and explains key programs that can help community based organizations and others that are working to build infrastructure, provide training to farmers, research new marketing opportunities, and otherwise working to strengthen regional food systems.
