Vermont Way Foods is an initiative of The Vermont Food Hub Collaborative, which was formed to support Vermont farmers and promote food access in their communities. They aggregate, store, and distribute the bounty of Vermont so our farmers can farm and our makers can keep making great food.

We are a collective of farmers, artisans and craftspeople. Cheesemakers, meatsmiths and sugarers. We’re not different because of some fancy high tech wizardry. We’re different because we do things the Vermont Way.

We take things a little slower and lead with our values. We operate in community, not factories. We are building soil, not laboratories. We believe it is an act of courage to have integrity in a world that incentivizes Bigger, Quicker, Cheaper and Easier.

We’re proud to raise our food with care, craft and empathy. We are farming with an older kind of ethic, one that is centered on strength of character, a generous spirit, and the courage to be uncompromising in our values. It requires a strong heart and a brave soul to do the right thing, instead of the easy one.

Located in the Capay Valley of California northeast of San Francisco, Viriditas Farm is the place where Foxfibre® naturally colored cottons are bred and initial seed increases grown up. Rotational crops include heirloom Sonora wheat- the flavorful low-yield landrace which boasts the root system of a perennial. This wheat has quite literally added tons of root material and straw per acre which has been beautifully building the soil organic matter up with each crop year.

And the sheep who made it possible to achieve my dream of going Biodynamic after almost a two decades worth of learning curve. The sheep eat down the plant stubble, reducing the need to use the tractor. Which predigest the plant materials making them more palatable to the soil microbes. They are such an integral part of this farm’s life. Plus, of course, they produce super fine and colorful wool. In all their different shades from all their ages.

Breeding and growing organic naturally colored cottons since 1982.

The first cotton to be organically grown in the USA. Opening minds to the possibilities of textiles that can enliven the soil while growing and comfort our eyes and skin while wearing, no chemicals required.
