Building a Vibrant Farm Economy, Together

Helping Vermont Farms Thrive

At the Intervale Center, we’re helping farmers get started, stay in business, and build thriving farms. With your support, we provide one-on-one business planning, land access assistance, and training so both new and experienced farmers can succeed. This means Vermont has more vibrant farms, more great food, and a stronger local economy. 

“As a first-generation farmer producing a niche product, the Intervale Center has been integral in helping me navigate a service and funding system designed for others. The Intervale Center has also provided me with the tools and guidance to develop a comprehensive business plan, refine my financial modeling, and make crucial connections with other organizations like VLT, VHCB, and UVM Extension.” 

 — Ben Tutko, Sustainable Solar Grazing 

This year we redeveloped our land linking website Vermont Land Link and associated farmland access programming to serve more farms and engage more non-farming landowners in support of a vibrant Vermont farm economy. 

Looking ahead, we will continue to provide farmers with high-quality, customized business planning and land access support. We will reach farmers in nearly every region of our state and build on our national model for how organizations can develop beginning farmer and land access programming. 

Thank you for believing in this work, and for standing with the Intervale Center as we continue to lead, innovate, and grow — together.
