Grant ID Number: CNE10-074
Grant Recipient: Denise Mason, Southeastern Vermont Community Action, Westminster VT
Farmers need support when adding value to raw products, and food entrepreneurs, who want to use fresh local products, often don't have access to commercial kitchens, packagers, or storage. The project manager will research and assess new distribution models, plan for partnerships and access to value-added infrastructure, and also develop programs that deliver local foods to low-income families. Outreach will be through local and statewide networks, agricultural agencies, universities, and trade groups, as well as via meetings and conferences.
