Our thoughts are with the family and colleagues of Will Raap, a leader in Vermont’s local food movement. The NOFA-VT team offers deep gratitude for Will, who cared so deeply and had a profound impact on small-scale and ecological agriculture in Vermont and beyond, including through innovative ventures like the Intervale Center and his most recent collaborative farming project, Earthkeep Farm Common. Will’s creative problem-solving, drive, and passion for local food forever changed the landscape of Vermont, and we’re grateful for his leadership, spirit, and contributions. 💚
