Values in Action: Sustainable Local Food in Vermont

Values in Action: Sustainable Local Food in Vermont

It's likely that your eyes glaze over as quickly as mine do when you hear lofty sustainable local food system goals and "walking the talk" rhetoric from large institutions.

Kudos to all involved!
