A historic barn in Morrisville awaits a new purpose.
Imagine this old barn transformed into a community hub, bustling with community volunteers and filled with produce from local farms, a space of constant movement where the generosity and hard work of farmers meets the needs of neighbors.
This barn, returning to its agricultural roots, will house Salvation Farmsâ Lamoille Valley Gleaning program â a program that in 2020 helped farmers feed more than 5,000 community members with more than 150,000 servings of locally grown produce that the farm had no paying market for and which was made available to neighbors in need.
This barn, owned by United Way of Lamoille County, will help more volunteers engage with area farms and build the community s reliance and appreciation of its area farms by increasing the regionâs use of locally grown food by all community members.
