“ACORN’s new Food Hub is a really exciting development for Elmer Farm and all Addison County’s small scale agricultural producers. Not only does it increase the capacity for our farms to produce and sell more of our high quality products, it is also building critical infrastructure that will increase our community’s resilience to unforeseen disruptions in the global food supply.”
“It was a pleasure to work with the ACORN Food Hub this winter to store some of our winter cops. It’s a beautiful & clean facility, access is easy & convenient. The hand trucks & the overhead door made it very easy to move our produce. Jess was very responsive & easy to work with. We are hoping to store some of our storage crops there again next winter. Thank you Acorn!”
