In our last blog before integrating into @VermontCF, we highlight @FarmersToYou & other efforts to bring the stories & values of VT producers to regional markets. Audio clips throughout the post bring the voices behind those efforts to life! @VTfarm2plate highmeadowsfund.org/meadow-m…
Emily Davis, with @GrassrootsFund_, encourages us to honor & support the varied relationships Vermonters have to the land and to allow for decisions to develop out of relationships & respect, over time.

This year’s Changemakers Table participants ran a grant round to support BIPOC VTers, funded by HMF, @VermontCF and @JohnsonFamFound. Our blog reflects on how ceding grantmaking to a younger group led to new lessons that can inform our future work: highmeadowsfund.org/meadow-m…

.@mackenziescott: There is nothing new about amplifying gifts by yielding control... It empowers receivers by making them feel valued and by unlocking their best solutions.
Please spread the word about these remarkable teams (and when you do please help shift the culture by making them the subject of your story or comments) bit.ly/3wvUYPR
Riley @northern_forest: Place matters in determining impacts of energy decisions... Forests are huge carbon sinks, critical to combating climate change. Modern wood heat in the Northern Forest delivers carbon benefits, clean water & jobs.
