Who We Are

The Center for an Agricultural Economy is a non-profit organization located in Hardwick, Vermont. Our work focuses on supporting and guiding the Northeast Kingdom and its Gateway Towns toward a sustainable, economical and ecological food system.

Through community involvement, integrated and responsible agri-business, and a commitment to economic and nutritional health, the CAE works towards supporting a vibrant food system that can be used and adapted around the world.

When noted author Bill McKibben visited Hardwick in October 2008, he offered the following comments.

"After spending a day in Hardwick, I feel a great burst of pleasure and possibility. Deep and transformative things are happening here. Hardwick has all the pieces of a healthy food system connected and ready to fall into place, and is as far ahead in sustainable agriculture as any place in the country."
