Kingsbury Farm

Vemront Foodbank Kingsbury Farm
The Kingsbury Farm in Warren is the result of a unique partnership between the Vermont Foodbank and the Vermont Land Trust. 

In early 2008, the Vermont Foodbank was chosen as new owners of the Kingsbury Farm by representatives of the town of Warren, the Mad River Valley Localvore Project, the Mad River Valley Planning District, Friends of the Mad River and Vermont Land Trust.  Read more about the process in this Valley Reporter article from July 24, 2008.

Each year the Foodbank hears a greater demand for fresh produce from our network partners around the state (click here to learn about our network partners.) The Foodbank purchased the farm to grow a variety of fresh, nutritious vegetables for food shelves and meal sites throught Central Vermont and address the need for this highly sought-after product. 

Along with providing high-quality fresh food, the Kingsbury Farm projcet also preserves valuable Vermont farm land and a historic farmstead, and protects the critical riverside habitat.

The Vermont Foodbank's Kingsbury Farm is located on Route 100, in the town of Warren. 


In 2009, the Vermont Foodbank began work on the farm--preparing the fields, renovating the garage, and shoring up the homestead.  Below are pictures of the current progress.

The garage will house the farm's produce packing and storage facilities.
