Green Works, the Vermont Nursery and Landscape Association

The Northeast Organic Farming Association of Vermont is hiring an Americorps Sustainable Environment Entrepreneur (SEE) member to work on food access and direct marketing programs (pending funding).

The Americorps member will work with NOFA-VT on the Vermont Food Education Every Day (VT FEED - http://www.vtfeed.org/) program, direct marketing programs (farmers’ market and community supported agriculture) and community outreach. The purpose of the program is to expand agricultural awareness and education by developing a community understanding of agriculture, thereby increasing marketing opportunities for farmers.

The goals of the project are to:

1. Enhance student and community understanding of agriculture by using farms as an educational resource;

2. Support the viability of farms by developing community connections to local agriculture; and

3.  Improve the diets and eating patterns of school aged children and community health through increased consumption of local food.
