I provide technical assistance, research and outreach to fruit and vegetable growers on on-farm produce safety and GAPs (Good Agricultural Practices). Special interests: making produce safety work for small, diversified farms; the intersection of produce safety, environmental health and sustainable agriculture/food systems; agricultural "waste" management and closed loop systems; farms as ecosystems and the intersection between polycultures, intercropping and pest and disease management under changing environmental conditions.

I have the privilege of working with many talented folks in and around Hardwick Vermont, in my role at the Center for an Agricultural Economy. Our organization operates the Vermont Food Venture Center - a shared use, semi-automated food processing facility, which specializes in helping small and start-up food businesses, and helping farmers with value-added farm products. This facility has 3 industrial kitchens, and can help with business planning, recipe development, marketing, labelling, co-packing and other services. The Center also works on food access, hunger relief, and education and outreach: running educational tours, community classes, hosting the Hardwick Community Gardens, facilitating local foods into our local food pantry and more. We are a part of food center/food hub networks, Farm to Plate working groups as well as New England regional conversations on food systems infrastructure and food access. We work to support strong farmers, healthy communities, and engaged, proactive consumers.
