Our organization continued our partnerships with affordable housing sites in 2025; expanding the program to reach an estimated 186 gardeners in 24 different housing communities in Vermont. This program is allowing us to provide resources and knowledge for individuals and families facing food insecurity. Through our onsite training and guidance,folks are able to harvest produce where they live. We see further reward from this work in seeing neighbors strengthen their relationships with each other as well as their own self confidence.

In 2025 we continued to offer a robust curriculum of garden and nutrition programs to a variety of demographics in Vermont. We have been able to reach seniors, new Americans, your families and more with hands on gardening programs as well as class room style workshops. Whether it be a series on preserving your harvest for winter months, or how to combat some of natures toughest garden pests, we have you covered! Our collective garden, Seedsong has demonstrated increased efficiencies over traditional community gardening and we plan to expand to additional locations. Further details on this and all of our work can be found in our Annual Report, found on our website.
