We recently visited Justin Rich of Burnt Rock Farm in Huntington, VT to talk about the value of certified Vermont Organic farms to local communities and all Vermonters who appreciate a resilient food system and our agrarian landscape:
"How can I grow a crop, minimize costs, maximize environmental benefits, and support as many other businesses and people as I can... while making food that tastes good? Vermont Organic Farmers is a partner in helping us do it better."
