YOUR ONGOING DONATIONS TODAY ALLOW US TO MEET THE GROWING DEMAND TOMORROW! Starting from zero every Spring is an obstacle we NEED to overcome.

It's an uphill battle funding the Farmstand to Foodshelf operation start-up every Spring. As inflation is on the rise, the number of folks accessing Food Shelves has increased.

Executive Director of The SB Foodshelf, Peter Carmolli reports families and households using SB Food Shelf are now over 700 with 3-10 new participants each week!

As a result, Common Roots needs to increase our organic vegetable yields for 3 food shelves from 6,000 lbs. to 8,000 lbs. in 2024.
With this increased farm production in 2024, we ask for your help. Common Roots uses Give Butter. Give Butter is an online monthly giving plan that makes it easy for donors to use in order for us to: build our capacity to grow an increased volume of organic produce.
These Donations help us do the following:-Set up our Farmstand at the South Burlington Food Shelf (May - December), bring fresh food from our farm throughout the year, AND provide 4 educational components.-Bring food to Feeding Chittenden-Provide food for the Abenaki Food Shelf in Shelburne with heritage seed saving at NOFA in Richmond
