Photos from our 2025 Annual Meeting

Thanks to the 100+ community members who joined us to celebrate another year in local food! In addition to eating a fantastic meal provided by Janis and Jason and The Farmstand Cafe, and recapping ACORN’s highlights from the last year, we heard poetry from Caitlin, sang with Moira and Joanna and heard stories from:

Thelma Gomez, Migrant Justice (Statewide)
Changchang Ma, The Knoll Farm and Climate Action Fellow at Middlebury College (Middlebury)
Ava Murphey, Jump Rope Farm (New Haven)
Jacob Powsner, Baird Farm (Chittenden)
Ellie, Foxglove Farm (Leicester)

We look forward to another year of collaboration, connection and moving more local food in 2026!
