Intervale Center Program

The Intervale Center manages 354 acres of farmland, nursery, compost production, trails, and wildlife corridors along the Winooski River in Burlington, Vermont. Founded in 1990, the Farms Program leases land, equipment, greenhouses, irrigation and storage facilities to small independent farms that agree to farm organically. Currently thirteen farms operate on 120 acres with over 60 full time and seasonal workers. Several of the farms are recent start-ups in an incubator status. Farmers have access to a cafeteria of technical and mechanical support as well as the benefit of marketing programs and business planning resources to help them establish themselves as profitable businesses.Fore more information, see http://www.intervale.org
