Great News from Blue Heron Farm!

By Meg Klepack, Outreach & Local Food Manager

Last month we wrote about Christine and Adam Bourque’s attempts to buy their first farm to continue producing eggs and veggies up on Grand Isle.

Thanks to the generosity of many of our members, customers, and broader community, The Vermont Land Trust let us know in mid-January that we’ve helped them meet the goal of raising $80,000! Plans can now move forward for the permanent conservation of the property, and it will soon be sold to Adam and Christine at an affordable price. Blue Heron Farm will remain available for agricultural use and family farming for generations to come – and City Market customers will continue to enjoy Adam and Christine’s fresh organic eggs and vegetables. For more information about the Blue Heron project, or the broader work of the Vermont Land Trust (whose work has conserved more than 725 farms in Vermont to date!), visit vlt.org.
