Just Cut is an innovative social enterprise of the Center for an Agricultural Economy that provides institutions and individuals direct access to high-quality, ready-to-use produce. Our unique model connects the abundant yields of Vermont farms to food buyers of any scale. We provide opportunities for food growers to reach new markets and maximize their farm’s potential.
For Buyers
We aggregate, inspect, wash and prepare root and storage crops from regional farms for your ease of use. Our easy order and delivery process help minimize your labor costs while maximizing the nutrition, variety, and tastiness of your meals.
For Farmers
We contract with farmers at a mutually agreed price in advance of the growing season, so you know before planting that you have a guaranteed sale for your root and storage crops. Our prices, contracts and transactions are direct, fair, and honest.
“Sodexo’s VT campuses continue to increase our purchasing commitments to Just Cut, as buying more of their local, minimally processed vegetable products not only helps increase our purchases of local produce, but also reduces labor needs for handling produce. For the 2020-2021 school year, we project purchasing 94,000lbs of Just Cut products, an increase of almost 50,000lbs from the previous school year.”
— Annie Rowell, Vermont First Coordinator Sodexo
