    September 30, 2024

    HARDWICK, Vermont—(Sept. 23, 2024) When the Center for an Agricultural Economy (CAE) opens the doors on the Food Hub later this year, its capacity to ship, store and process food and agricultural products will greatly expand, boosting the organization’s mission to strengthen Vermont’s food system. As a net-zero, solar-powered facility utilizing cutting-edge refrigeration and heat-capture technology, the Food Hub will also further the non-profit’s commitment to sustainability and demonstrate that agriculture can work in concert with environmental initiatives.

    The 12,500-square-foot Food Hub will come online as CAE marks 20 years of working to make the local food system resilient, including, most recently, assisting farms with flood recovery. The Food Hub will increase CAE’s capacity to aggregate and distribute locally produced foods from across the state and transport them to markets within Vermont and beyond.
