Intervale Center

Founded in 1988, Intervale Center is a nonprofit committed to strengthening community food systems by improving farm viability, promoting sustainable land use, and engaging the community.  For instance, its Farms Program, started in 1990, leases land, equipment, greenhouses, irrigation and storage facilities to small independent farms, enabling them to grow fresh produce –adding around 60 jobs to the Burlington economy.  Other initiatives include a food hub and a local conservation nursery.  The Center’s programs and enterprises are located on the 350 acres of land along the Winooski River that the nonprofit stewards as a community resource.
