Vermont leads the nation in direct sales of local and specialty foods production on a per capita basis. Our state also has an excellent reputation for producing quality food products, including maple syrup, of which the Green Mountain State leads the nation in production. UVM Extension works across the food system, from farm to table, to assist in supporting a safe and nutritious food supply. The UVM Extension Food Safety Program works with farmers, maple syrup producers, small-scale food processors, meat processors and other stakeholders to improve the safety of food produced and processed throughout the state of Vermont.
