New Director Hired
After months of work in which we reviewed applications and interviewed many wonderful applicants, Rural Vermont has hired Brian Moyer to be the new Director.
For the last six years Brian has served on the board of directors of PASA (Pennsylvania Association for Sustainable Agriculture), serving the last 2 years as the Vice President. He was also Vice President of APPPA (American Pastured Poultry Producers Association), ending his term as the President. He has been farming with his wife, Holley, for the last twelve years raising broilers, layers, turkeys, sheep, goats and pigs on the pastures of their 27 acre farm in Berks county Pennsylvania. They market their farm fresh food through four CSA’s, farmers markets, restaurants, and on their farm. Brian was the founder and manager of the Skippack Farmers Market which has entered its ninth season in Montgomery County, PA.We’re very excited to have Brian aboard and we’re glad to have Rural Vermont’s strong membership base to help him feel at home as he relocates from Pennsylvania.
