Rural Vermont celebrated its 40th anniversary in 2025. Throughout the year, we traveled all over the state to reconnect with folks from across the decades, celebrate the leaders and progress that have defined this mighty little organization, and collectively reflect and envision what comes next. We invite you to listen to the people, the stories, and the history that has shaped forty years of farm policy change - policies protecting Vermont farmers, farming, our small agrarian communities & way of life. You will hear from past, present, and future farm and organizer generations as they describe the beginnings and impact of Rural Vermont.
