About Us:
The Intervale Community Farm began in 1990 in order to provide the greater Burlington community with an affordable source of high-quality, organic produce. Organized as a member-owned, community-supported agriculture (CSA) farm, ICF has grown to serve over 500 member households annually, growing and distributing produce for all twelve months of the year through a summer and a winter share.
ICF is different than your typical CSA farm and your typical vegetable farm, in that our farmers are hired employees and have no ownership interest in the business, which is instead owned by interested CSA members through a consumer cooperative. Also distinctive is that all of our CSA shares are distributed on the farm, in the Intervale. As a result, we emphasize making the farm an approachable, enjoyable, and engaging destination, suitable for all ages.
We operate with community needs at the forefront: not for individual profit, nor for wider organizational purpose. From produce selection, on-farm activities, and member control, to affordability, training new farmers, and community partnerships, the ICF exists to serve our members.
Along with many other fine Vermont farms, we share a commitment to growing a wide range of fresh, delicious vegetables, herbs, flowers and fruit for our members’ enjoyment. We aim to provide top-quality produce for a good consumer value.
