Community FEAST Farm Program
Our Purpose
The City of Montpelier Community FEAST Farm Program is a public, collaborative, not-for-profit farm program that grows food for our food-insecure neighbors. The program provides fresh, local vegetables to a low-income farm stand, the FEAST Meals Program (which distributes meals to vulnerable, older adults), the Just Basics food pantry, the free downtown community fridge, and anyone who comes by and needs food. Furthermore, the FEAST Farm Program is fueled by the work of a huge variety of folks including department of labor trainees, AmeriCorps members, high-school members of the Montpelier Youth Conservation Corps (MYCC), and older-adult volunteers. Thus, the program endeavors to foster intergenerational connections, while asking the radical question: “can a city feed its people?”
