Selling to Regional Markets:
How Vermont Farmers Sell Directly Out of State.
VT New Farmer Project Webinar, organized by the Intervale Center
Farms Program
Are you a farmer interested in selling regionally? Have you thought
about driving to Boston or New York to sell your products? Do you
want to learn about a few different options for accessing regional
markets through direct sales? Learn from two farmers about selling
directly meat, vegetables, and value added products to New York
City. We’ll help you learn the personal, production, financial, and
marketing skills needed to sell to access regional markets. Amanda
Andrews, co-owner of Tamarack Hollow Farm in Burlington, VT, will
talk about selling vegetables and meat in New York City through a
farmers market and small CSA and Diane St. Clair, owner of Animal
Farm, in Orwell, VT will discuss selling value added dairy products
to regional markets.
