Jericho Food Hub Task Force Update

1/9/2024

Dave here, Since the town vote in March 2023, The Jericho Food Hub Task Force has been working to identify the best ways to insure that the task force mission has been achieved.  As we head into 2024, we want to illustrate that a Food Hub concept is something that can benefit the Jericho citizens and local farmers.
Since Jericho and Underhill are often partners in providing services, the task force has invited a team from Underhill to join in this mission.  We hope that by broadening the scope that we can better serve both communities and offer more options to its respective citizens.

Some of the highlights from this year include:
  • 14 member committee that came up with 8 points for what a Food Hub can be, see File below
  • Through the summer we queried Jericho citizens about what they felt that a Food Hub could be for them.  We have the results of that survey ready to share, see file below.
  • Through the survey, we found that people would be interested in attending a community dinner.  We discussed how that might look and determined that we should table an event like that in 2024.
  • In early 2024 we are polling farmers from both Jericho and Underhill to understand how they feel about a Food Hub concept and how could it help them better provide foods for the citizens of Jericho and Underhill.  We feel that this work closes the circle to insure that we have had discussions with both where the food comes from and what are the consumers needs.
On January 20th, 2024, 1-3pm, Jericho and Underhill Farmers will meet to discuss how a Food Hub organization might be able to help them producing and distributing products in Jericho and Underhill.  That meeting will be held at the Deborah Rawson Memorial Library.
Survey as well:  If you are a farmer in Jericho or Underhill, Vermont, we would like to hear from you.  Please go to https://forms.gle/YmN6QvNaq9Wp9Jk9A
In that survey, you can let us know if you'd like to attend that meeting
on January 20th.
