A new USDA report on organic production is out

A new USDA report on organic production is out and Vermont continues to hold its own on the national stage. Results from a 2021 Certified Organic survey show the number of Vermont organic farms increased by 6% to more than 690 farms. That positions Vermont as eighth in the country for certified organic acreage at more than 200,000. The state accounted for roughly 60% of New England’s certified organic sales, as well as 55% of the nation’s organic maple syrup.
