Fostering a future where local farms feed local communities
Our spring appeal is here!
Help us raise $35,000 by July 15th to support Vermont farms and food access.
Your gift isn’t just a donation. It’s food on a family’s table. It’s a saved harvest. It’s a sign that Vermont’s food system can
—and must—work for everyone. The work of nourishing our state belongs to all of us. Our mission has never been more critical—or more vulnerable. We need your support to raise $35,000 by July 15th to keep our programs strong and able to meet this moment.
A Celebration of Summer!
Salvation Farms' 2nd Annual Shared Harvest Dinner
Join Salvation Farms for a lovely evening at Sandiwood Farm for a dinner of deliciously prepared local dishes from farms in the area. This meal will include a salad, main entree, and dessert all made from local surplus produce by Sterling College and Two Sons Bakehouse. There will be live music, and we will have a silent auction with some wonderful local eats, treats, and activities. Thank you to NOFA-VT, Union Bank, Efficiency Vermont, the Manosh Corporation, ACORN VT, and Cabot Creamery.
Buy your tickets today! Last year's celebration was a great success and we anticipate this to be another sold out event. Ticketing will close on August 19th.
All ticket sales go directly towards our work supporting Vermont farms and food access for our neighbors in need.
Supporting Local Farms
Salvation Farms supports local farms by taking surplus produce and product off of farms, and distributing that surplus to local community meal programs. This is done at no cost to the farmers and aids in distributing resources.
Connecting Food Programs & Feeding Sites
By connecting farms and the surplus local vegetables, fruit, and even cheese, we help Vermonters feed Vermonters. Each meal site, food pantry, community food hub we distribute to is able to feed their visitors with local product.
Growing Local Food Systems
Operating off of the belief that farms have always been and will always be our salvation, we bridge the gaps in the food system through experiential learning, being a guide in the local food community, and connecting food producers with food eaters, which is all of us!
Why Our Work Matters
We believe that farms are, were, and always will be our salvation; diversified farms are the cornerstones of healthy, wholesome, and stable communities and cultures. We believe the best way to build lasting change in the food system is to involve people in the process of moving food from farms to eaters.
