Blackbird Organics

Blackbird Organics is a certified organic farm that grows a wide diversity of vegetable crops. Owners Kagen Dewey and Elise Magnant sell their produce through local farmers’ markets, grocery co-ops, and a small CSA. Blackbird Organics began in 2018 and scaled their production on leased land until just last year, when they worked together with the Vermont Land Trust to purchase their own property in Plainfield, VT. The business is now poised to make significant investments in infrastructure, efficient systems, and long-term strategies for growth. Blackbird Organics received a $30,000 Business Builder loan to help finance some of those key equipment and infrastructure investments to expand production on the new farm.
