The growing season brings with it a great opportunity to share your love of fresh, local produce. Addison County has recently launched some exciting new initiatives to increase access to local food, and we would love for you to join! If you plan to have a garden next spring, please consider planting an extra row for our county's food shelves this season. Gardeners can plant one or more rows of vegetables as part of this community effort to reduce hunger in our county. Any extra produce can be brought to the Addison County Food Shelf at HOPE Monday through Friday or to our collection site at the Middlebury Farmer's Market on Saturdays.
For those of you without planting space (or to get involved further), please consider joining Addison County's gleaning team! Harvesting surplus food from farms is a wonderful way to meet your local farmers and to give back to the community. We welcome any and all volunteers for harvesting, processing, and/or distributing produce.
