VT Fresh
VT Fresh is inspired by the incredible diversity and beauty of fruits and vegetables that grow locally in Vermont. Our aim is that everyone in Vermont has access to these nutritious foods. VT Fresh recipes are simple to prepare and delicious, using just one fruit or vegetable as the primary ingredient. And the VT Fresh program works with community partners to transform how fruits and vegetables are displayed and distributed in food shelves and meals sites across the state.
