Building increased resilience in Vermont’s food system through agricultural surplus management.
About us
Salvation Farms is a federally recognized non-profit with a mission to build increased resilience in Vermont’s food system through agricultural surplus management. Our work is rooted in sustainable agriculture, natural resource management, and experiential education. 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.
