Since our founding in 2005, ACORN has been weaving a more resilient, localized food system in Vermont’s Champlain Valley by providing support to farmers and food producers, deepening agricultural engagement in our community and ensuring access to local healthy food for all.

From the Tour de Farms and Champlain Valley Guide to Local Food and Farms to the Farmacy: Food is Medicine program and our brand new Online Wholesale Market and various Farm to School initiatives, ACORN, at its core, is a catalyst for developing local, sustainable and collaborative solutions that adapt to current times.

Grassroots fundraising from our community members and community partnerships contribute to over 30% of our annual operating budget. We literally cannot do this work without YOU!
