Root 5 Farm: Fairlee, VT
While owners Danielle Allen and Ben Dana both studied at UVM in the 90s—political science and forestry studies, respectively—their paths didn’t cross until 2003. While farming in Intervale, Ben’s unusual hat collection caught Danielle’s eye. The rest, as they say, is history.
After the destruction from Tropical Storm Irene, Danielle and Ben’s search for new farmland culminated in the purchase of Your Farm in 2013, now Root 5 Farm. Today, they’re continuing to farm the 38-acre plot of rich Connecticut River Valley soil, growing over 100 varieties of certified organic vegetables.

Stitchdown Farm: Bethel, VT
A childhood’s worth of fond pastural memories is why Stitchdown Farm and Floristry exist. For owner Rita Champion, horseback riding through hayfields outside Portland, OR, and barn building gave way to working on vegetable operations until meeting her partner, Andrew Plotsky in 2012 and starting Stitchdown together. Arising from the realization that flowers are nourishing—feeding our senses and sometimes even our stomachs—and also undersupplied both locally and sustainably, their flower CSA was born.

Honey Field Farm: Norwich, VT
