Trip to Vermont: The Intervale Center

Our second stop on the trip to Vermont was the Intervale Center in Burlington, VT.  This 300+ acres of land hosts many individual farming enterprises as well as "incubator farms" and community projects, not to mention educational programs.  The farmers on this land--mentor farmers as well as beginning farmers--share the greenhouse space, tractors and implements and wash up areas.  We saw a well-established CSA, some smaller market farms, a community plot for immigrants as well as the facilities held in common.
