This document serves as an overview of four Vermont food hubs’ efforts responding to an institutional demand for locally grown products. Farm-to-School programs have progressively expanded across the state of Vermont, thus stimulating a widespread increase in both local food supply and effective distribution. With a focus on food hubs to develop more sustainable Farm-to-School (FTS) programs, this process offered a chance for reflection on the opportunities and challenges associated with the projects. These arose from a multifaceted array of program aspects, from partnership collaboration to project growth and potential.
