UVM Catamount Educational Farm<\/a> apple and vegetable sales began September 1, 2023 at the UVM Horticulture Research and Education Center (HREC), located at 65 Green Mountain Drive in South Burlington, VT. Sales will continue every Friday through at least November 5, from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.<\/p>\n

Weekly updates on apple varieties available can be found on our Facebook<\/a> page. Look for our tent at the front of the HREC.<\/p>\n

We will continue produce sales at the Old North End Farmers Market<\/a> on Tuesdays from 3:00-6:00 p.m. though mid-October.<\/p>\n

For departmental and other bulk orders, PLEASE fill out our online order form<\/a> or email catfarm@uvm.edu. Please Do Not Send Bulk Orders to Terry Bradshaw this year!<\/strong><\/p>\n

The mission of Catamount Educational Farm is to model sustainable farming practices through a working vegetable and fruit farm that provides educational and research opportunities for the UVM community. Students are integral in carrying out all activities of the farm, and this experiential learning environment provides them with real and diverse sustainable farm management skills.<\/p>\n

The farm contributes to the local food system of the university by marketing the student-grown produce back to the UVM community through a campus farm stand, CSA shares<\/a> and a wholesale account with University Dining Services. All revenue from produce sales supports the farm so that it may serve academic and research programs on sustainable crop production.<\/p>\n

Directions to the Farm from Campus<\/h3>\n

The HREC is located behind GE Healthcare and the Heritage car dealerships off Shelburne Road in South Burlington.<\/p>\n
