NOFA VT Farm to Institution INFRASTRUCTURE Survey

Thank you for participating in NOFA-VT's statewide Farm to Institution local food INFRASTRUCTURE Survey. The goal of our research is to understand local food aggregation, storage, processing, and distribution so we can visualize where and how food is moving across the state. Ultimately, this is aligned with the Farm to Plate strategic plan and will, we hope, enable more access to local foods.

Our focus in this survey is exclusively FRUITS, VEGETABLES, and EGGS.

We are really counting on you to help us gather this information. In order to thank you for your assistance, all responses received by MARCH 14TH, 2012 will be entered into a raffle for one of TEN $75 GIFT CERTIFICATES to a locally owned restaurant of YOUR choosing.

Please try and be as accurate as possible. To facilitate your ability to complete this survey, please forward it to the individual in your organization who is most knowledgeable about aggregation, storage, distribution, and processing, if it is not you. We expect this survey should take approximately 15-30 minutes of your time.

All responses are confidential and will be used solely for reporting purposes. No individual data will be shared without your consent. Your address data is only being used for mapping purposes and to send the lucky winners their gift certificates!

If you would like to contact us directly, please feel free to call or e-mail.

Thank you,
