In our last blog before integrating into @VermontCF, we highlight @FarmersToYou & other efforts to bring the stories & values of VT producers to regional markets. Audio clips throughout the post bring the voices behind those efforts to life! @VTfarm2plate https://t.co/xubxvB1NB1

Emily Davis, with @GrassrootsFund_, encourages us to honor & support the varied relationships Vermonters have to the land and to allow for decisions to develop out of relationships & respect, over time.

This year’s Changemakers Table participants ran a grant round to support BIPOC VTers, funded by HMF, @VermontCF and @JohnsonFamFound. Our blog reflects on how ceding grantmaking to a younger group led to new lessons that can inform our future work: https://t.co/nVqdhAIi0O
