Mission

Salvation Farms is a not for profit, citizen-based project located in Wolcott, Vermont. The Northeast Organic Farming Association of Vermont (NOFA-VT) serves as our fiscal sponsor and advisor. Our mission is to harvest excess farm produce, making it available to Vermonters in need. We are a cost free resource available to farmers and food sites, providing volunteer crews for salvaging farm surplus and arranging storage and distribution of fresh food donations. Donation recipients consist of local emergency food sites, educational and care giving institutions, retirement communities, non-profits, and the Vermont Foodbank. Salvation Farms considers "Vermonters in need" to include those who are food insecure and/or nutritionally insecure.
