    BRADFORD, Vt. (WCAX) - “A bit of a roller coaster.” That is how farmers are describing this year’s growing crop in Vermont. The hot weather took its toll on the strawberry crop but, when it comes to local food, there is more than one reason to celebrate.

    As a thick cloud cover dispersed over Cedar Circle Farm in Thetford one morning late last month, Marnie Williamson took a break from planting bulbs to check on her newest crop. Slim leaves resembling ordinary blades of grass were the only vegetation sprouting up in most of the holes she’d cut in the landscape fabric.

    It was a familiar summer camp scene. With morning dew on the grass, parents dropped off children between the ages of 6 and 10, leaving them with fresh-faced counselors for the day.

    But this camp was a little different. The drop-off location was Cedar Circle Farm, an organic vegetable farm in East Thetford. Families said their goodbyes in front of a red barn on Pavillion Road. Nearby, a row of golden sunflowers shone in the morning light.

    Dr. Vandana Shiva visits Vermont

    Kate Duesterberg – November 25, 2014

    In early November, Cedar Circle Farm had the privilege of hosting the internationally renowned environmental activist Dr. Vandana Shiva. We had met Dr. Shiva several times before at conferences and meetings that focus on organic agriculture’s contribution to reversing climate chaos.

    While in New York at the Peoples’ Climate March in September, she offered to spend a few days with us here in Vermont to help support the grassroots’ efforts on GMO labeling. In addition to a visit to Cedar Circle Farm, Dr. Shiva spoke in Burlington and at the Vermont Law School.

    The video posted here is her speech in Burlington. The topic was Food System Transformation and Reversing the Climate Crisis: How Vermont’s GMO labeling law is part of the solution.


    And here’s her talk at the Vermont Law School, co-organized with our pals at the VLS Center for Agriculture and Food Systems.

    Get inspired: both of Dr. Vandana Shiva’s talks are worth checking out!

    Passing our new GMO labeling was a huge success, but it is by no means over. The new law is being challenged in court by the big food industry. Your continued support in this fight is essential.
