Other Local Products Available Through ICF
One of the goals of the Intervale Community Farm is to promote “ever more farms and farmers”. One means of reaching this end is by offering local products to farm members. We offer “shares” of most of the extra products and this enables ICF to pay the farmer cash in advance (just like ICF members pay for their produce before the season begins). ICF also strives to pay the producer a price that is above wholesale pricing, while still keeping the product affordable for the ICF membership.

Shares of bread and goat cheese will be for sale during the first week of pickups in June.   Apple and cider shares will begin in late August and we will have sign-ups then.

Apples. We offer ecologically grown apples and sweet cider from Champlain Orchards in Shoream. The varieties shift as the season progresses from crisp early varieties to sweeter fall types. For more information on Champlain Orchards, visit www.champlainorchards.com.

Bread. We are very pleased to offer Gerard’s Bread at ICF. Gerard’s Bread is a naturally-leavened country French loaf, baked locally from primarily organic ingredients.

New for 2008! We will be selling Adam's Bread in addition to Gerard's.  Adam bakes whole-grain, naturally leavened German-style bread and shares will rotate through several varieties.  Look for samples during the second week of pickup.

Eggs.  This season we will have eggs for cash sale by the dozen from Jericho Settlers' Farm.  They raise free-range, pastured (non-organic) hens in Jericho.

Goat Cheese. Certified-organic goat cheeses from Does’ Leap Farm in East Fairfield will be available on a share basis. Does’ Leap produces several delicious fresh and aged goat cheeses.

Meats. We expect to have grass-fed beef available through Wells Family Farm and organic pork through Does’ Leap Farm. Watch for info! Summer Share only.

Maple Syrup. Delicious organic maple syrup is available at special ICF prices from Dragonfly Sugarworks in Huntington, VT. Visit www.dragonflysugarworks.com for more information.
