A new index ranks Vermont number one in its commitment to raising and eating
locally grown food. The ranking is
based on the number of farmers’ markets and community-supported agriculture
programs per resident.
Community supported agriculture has been
growing in Vermont and elsewhere, and now the state’s two U.S. senators are hoping to give it a boost from Washington.
Community Supported Agriculture farms were hit hard by flooding this spring, and so far it’s been a challenge for them to deliver fresh, locally grown produce to their members.
