Valley Food & Farm is piloting a new service that gives Human Resource managers of local businesses a new employee benefit they can offer to their staff. This benefit connects employees to local farms, and gives the employee a culture that supports their efforts to improve their health, gives the farms new customers, and gives the businesses a chance to improve employee health and productivity. Our partner, Norris Cotton Cancer Center, is working with us to evaluate the effectiveness of our intervention.

This project is underway, and we are currently choosing work sites to be engaged in the first year-long pilot. If you are interested in having your work site be considered, please contact Lisa at 802-291-9100, ext.103 or lisa@vitalcommunities.org.

This project was initiated through a grant from the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation - Upper Valley Region, and is continued through a very generous grant from an anonymous Upper Valley family foundation. Our deepest thanks!
