About Us
For the second year in a row, a group of small family farms, a local health improvement coalition and adults with developmental disabilities joined forces to help one another and the communities in which they live.
The farmers needed help in their fields and getting food to market, the coalition needed to improve the health of people in our communities, the adults with developmental disabilities needed to work and be included in their community.
The Collaborative helps everyone succeed. We help farmers farm, and we deliver their fresh, locally grown produce to individuals and families in and around the Oxford Hills region. In doing this, the Collaborative values the contributions of adults with developmental disabilities while keeping people and communities healthy.
The Collaborative includes 8 family farms spanning 40 acres, on which more than 50 different fruits and vegetables are grown. The Collaborative only sells goods that are locally grown, produced, traded, and distributed in a sustainable, equitable, and responsible manner.
