About this organization
Mission
Salvation Farms' mission is to increase resilience in Vermont's food system through agricultural surplus management. We are driven by three primary goals: 1. Reduce food loss on Vermont farms 2. Increase the use of locally grown foods 3. Foster greater appreciation for and understanding of Vermont's agricultural heritage and future We are deeply rooted in the philosophy that farms are, were and always will be our salvation; small, diversified farms are the cornerstones of healthy, wholesome and stable communities and cultures. We believe that the best way to build lasting change is to involve people in the process; this creates ownership and intrinsic value. A common and essential resource, food is an extremely effective tool for social change.
