Fall Organizing Meeting: State Seed Policy

We’re gathering to develop what a Vermont Farm and Food Bill could look like, what it would take, and meaningful change we can make along the way. 

Seed sovereignty is core to our food security, and Vermont has a thriving community-based seed exchange ecosystem. States--including Vermont--are facing pressure to pass state seed policies that could undermine some of our most valued community based seed practices. Now is the time to protect and expand the practices that ensure seed sovereignty in Vermont. 

Rich Earth Summit

The 2026 Rich Earth Summit is the 12th annual gathering on urine diversion, compost toilets, and other source-separation systems—advancing sustainable, equitable nutrient cycles. The Summit explores how farms can reclaim nutrients in human “waste” as a valuable resource instead of letting them become costly watershed pollutants.

The Rich Earth Summit brings together a growing global community of researchers, nonprofit organizations, entrepreneurs, farmers, educators, engineers, municipal leaders, policymakers, and advocates.

Forest Farming & Forest Resilience with Ginseng and Ramps

We’ll meet at UVM’s Jericho Research Forest classroom for an introduction to the Forest including its history, current and future management goals. Then, we’ll walk into the forest to see a recently planted forest farming site. We’ll discuss key indicator species for forest farming and identify a good location to plant ramps. The workshop includes an hour of hands-on planting of ramp bulbs, so be ready to get your hands dirty. There will also be many opportunities to talk about the current state of Vermont forests and forest farming.
