Objectives

We seek to answer the question of not simply where does our food come from, but how does our food come from?  In other words, once people commit to eating locally, how do they connect to their local food systems? We will use case studies of local farms, including Lewis Creek Farm, Bread and Butter Farm, The Intervale and UVM's own Common Ground Farm to examine different models of local agriculture and different ways that food gets from the farm to the consumer, from direct wholesale to Farmer's Markets to CSA shares to community gardens.
