Food Connects

Food Connects operates a regional food distribution hub in Brattleboro, VT. They make it easy for wholesale customers throughout New England to purchase source-identified food from a variety of regional producers, offering competitive pricing, personalized service, and products they can feel good about. And in doing so the Food Hub opens new markets for farmers, helps ensure that farmland will be here for generations to come, and strengthens our regional food economy. Food Connects also runs a Farm to School program in Windham County connecting kids to local food.

A Business Builder loan from the VFF allowed Food Connects to build its shelf stable inventory, increasing its purchasing from small and medium producers throughout the region.
