Agriculture in Jericho/Food Hub Task Force

The Jericho Food Systems Group was formed as subcommittee of the Planning Commission in 2020 to ensure that farming and agribusiness enterprises remain relevant and viable in Jericho. Our goal is to engage the Ag community and make sure their needs are met through thoughtful planning and zoning regulations, including the preservation of agricultural lands whenever possible, and to encourage the Jericho community to support the local food economy .

The Jericho Food Hub Task Force was created in 2023 after a vote of support at Town Meeting.

“We the citizens of Jericho propose the formation of Jericho as a vital Food Hub for the citizens of its Town and environs. A Food Task Force will be established by the SelectBoard, with the goal of increasing food self-sufficiency via the production, manufacture and distribution of local food.”

Rooted in Vermont is shifting the local food narrative on social media and in Vermont communities to be inclusive of the many ways Vermonters enjoy and acquire local food. Traditions like gardening, hunting, fishing, and foraging are as core to Vermont’s local food movement as purchasing local food from farmers, restaurants, schools, and stores.
