Build increased resilience in Vermont's food system through agricultural surplus management hungry, young, sick and elder.

What inspired us to seek federal non-profit status was the acknowledgement that Vermont has a tremendous amount of food that is currently available but underutilized. Additionally, Vermont has a great need to feed many of our state’s most vulnerable populations, i.e. We see that an independent entity must exist, whose sole purpose is the oversight and logistical support of capturing and managing our state’s surplus agricultural bounty. We value gleaning, our roots and foundation, but we see the need to create broader programs in addition to gleaning that support a systems approach to food rescue. Engaging Vermonters in the management our states available food resources will build strength and stewardship of these resources.

Farms and food access are (always!!) on the ballot.

One of the things that makes Vermont special is that we are small enough to come together, have conversations, and share our perspectives directly with the people who represent us. At Salvation Farms, we know that every vote matters, and that the decisions made by our elected officials have a real impact on our farms, our food system, and our communities.

From the future of dairy and the impacts of climate change to the rising cost of fuel and access to locally grown food, these issues deserve attention. We need leaders who understand the importance of Vermont agriculture and are committed to supporting the farms that sustain our communities.

We also know that food access has never been more important. Across Vermont, more people are facing food insecurity as the resources available to help are becoming harder to find. We believe Vermont has the necessary tools and resources to end food insecurity. What we need now is the collective commitment and political will to turn that possibility into action.

We are fortunate to live in a state where people across the political spectrum can, and often do, come together around issues that matter to Vermonters. We hope our elected leaders will continue to find common ground and keep the needs of our farms, families, and communities at the center of their work.

🥕🌱 Little hands, big food-system impact! 🌱🥕

At Salvation Farms, we love helping connect young people and families with the farms, food, and farmers that make our communities thrive! 💚

Through partnerships with local schools, WIC programs, and more, we’re creating opportunities for kids to learn where their food comes from, discover the magic of fresh, local produce, and build connections with the people who grow it. 🍎🌽🥬

There’s something pretty special about watching curiosity grow alongside an appreciation for good food! We’re so grateful for the opportunity to work with young people, support families, and make local food more accessible to everyone.

Here’s to growing curious minds, happy bellies, and a stronger local food system — one bite at a time! 🌻💚

🌱 Please join us in welcoming two new members to the Salvation Farms Board of Directors: Andy Wood and Susan Bartlett!

We’re thrilled to have their deep knowledge, experience, and commitment to Vermont’s farms, food systems, rural communities, and the health of our neighbors represented on our board.

🐄 Andy Wood brings more than a decade of experience supporting Vermont’s agricultural and forestry communities through agricultural lending. As Director of Agricultural Lending at the Vermont Economic Development Authority, Andy helps farms and rural businesses access capital and advance their goals. A former manager of the Vermont Technical College farm, Andy holds a degree in Animal Science from the University of Vermont and was raised on a small dairy farm in Concord. He also helps with his family’s maple sugaring business.

🌿 Susan Bartlett has called Hyde Park home for more than 50 years. Along the way, she and her husband, Bill, have grown organic gardens—including participating in the Morrisville Farmers Market back in 1978!—raised chickens and sheep, kept brood sows, and raised and sold piglets. Susan was also an early supporter of Salvation Farms and has contributed in many ways to the effort to get good food to Vermonters.

Susan brings extensive public service experience, having served 18 years in the Vermont Legislature and six years in the Governor’s Office. Most recently, she served on the Lamoille Health Partners Board and as interim CEO.

We’re grateful to welcome Andy and Susan to the board and look forward to the knowledge, perspective, and passion they’ll bring as we work together toward a future where all are fed and farms are thriving.💚
