Did you know the majority of our members are small farms?

Since the beginning, our members have included small-scale operations, organic farms, and a real range of producers across the region. That diversity is a big part of what makes the Champlain Valley Farmer Coalition so strong.

This is one of our member farms, Maple Wind Farm.

Something BIG is buzzing in Vergennes this Saturday! 🐝🎨

Join our friends to celebrate a new large-scale mural by artist Matt Willey, part of his global art project, The Good of the Hive. Matt is on a mission to paint 50,000 honey bees around the world — the number of bees in a healthy hive — to raise awareness of the importance of pollinators.

Bring your picnic blankets, lawn chairs, and lawn games. Live music by Brett Hughes & The H***y Tonk Crowd. 🎶

Food & drink will be available for purchase from Vamo Arriba Empanadas, Sisters of Anarchy ice cream, and Barr Hill Gin! The event is free to attend.

New screening date! After selling out our August 11 and 12 showings at the Middlebury Marquis, we’re excited to be back with another chance to see the film two weeks later!

Join us for The State of Farming, a new documentary that tells the story of Vermont agriculture through the voices of the farmers who live it every day.

Tuesday, August 25th at 6:00 p.m.

🎟️ Reserve your tickets at cvfc-vt.com. Link in bio.

The film offers an honest, firsthand look at the opportunities and challenges shaping farming in Vermont today. From food production and local economies to water quality, environmental stewardship, regulations, and the future of working lands, the documentary explores the vital role agriculture plays in communities across the state.

Agriculture has always been more than an industry in Vermont. It is the foundation of our landscape, economy, and identity. But rising costs, volatile markets, labor shortages, unpredictable weather, and changing regulations continue to place significant pressure on farm families. Despite these challenges, Vermont farmers continue to innovate, expand conservation practices, produce nutritious food, and strengthen the communities around them.

Supporting local agriculture means more than buying local products. It means recognizing the people behind those products, understanding the realities they face, and ensuring Vermont remains a place where farms can continue to thrive for generations to come.

The State of Farming is proudly produced by Monument Farms, the Vermont Dairy Promotion Council, the Vermont Dairy Producers Alliance, and Mt. Mansfield Media.

There is SO much to do at Field Days! It’s the state’s largest agricultural fair. From livestock and horse shows, 4-H exhibits, antique tractors, motorsports, carnival rides, live music, and art, to more good food than you could possibly eat in a day (or can you!?), there’s something for everyone!
