updates from the food hub
FOOD HUB PIVOT
The Food Hub is open and running our home delivery and pick-up programs through the last week of March, 2023. We are still accepting new members, and are happy to reactivate any accounts from previous members.
We will close our retail operations on March 31, 2023 and continue our wholesale program and our joint efforts with our coworkers in the Intervale Center's food access team. Read our full statement here.
ALTERNATIVE OPTIONS FOR LOCAL FOOD
1. Farm Stands and Community Supported Agriculture (CSAs) - Go straight to the source and sign up for a local farm's CSA program. There are MANY options that come in different sizes and offer different benefits. Here's a helpful resource to find shipping, CSA, and farmstand options to keep supporting your favorite Food Hub producers.
2. Farmers Market - Vermont has wonderful farmers markets, where you can purchase product directly from farmers. Find your local market here.
3. Online + In-Person Local Grocery - Farmers to You is piloting home delivery in Burlington, and also offers pick-up around the state. They offer a similar selection to us, with products from Vermont and New England. You can also find many local products at City Market, Healthy Living, Jake's Market, and other in-person retailers.
