Co-op consists of 19 member farms from throughout
Vermont and the eastern townships of Quebec. Founded
in 1986, Deep Root is one of the oldest co-ops of
organic vegetable growers in the Northeast. The
co-op exists to promote local, sustainable, and
organic agriculture through its small, family-owned
farms. Due to our size and the variety of our member
farms, we offer a wide range of products available
throughout the year. A list of our offerings
throughout the summer will consist of: tomatoes,
cucumbers, corn, several varieties of lettuce, kale,
chard, cabbage (green, red, savoy, and nappa),
broccoli, collards, fennel, and peas. But, because
of our northern location, we are probably best known
for our root crops such as carrots, parsnips, beets,
rutabagas, burdock, and black radish, and a large
variety of winter squash. We also offer throughout
the year a unique line of bio-lacto fermented
vegetables in varieties such as sliced spiced
carrots, grated beets, onions with miso, and
sauerkraut. Our products are available direct and
through distributors across the Northeast,
Mid-Atlantic and Midwest regions. Please contact us

build a food system that empowers farmers and
consumers, supports small farmer co-ops, and uses
sustainable farming methods. Starting with fairly
traded coffee from Nicaragua, we continue to find
new and powerful ways to build a better food system,
including high-quality organic coffees, teas,
chocolates and snacks from all over the world,
including here in the United States — and now,
fairly traded bananas. With regional offices in the
Northeast, Midwest and West Coast, we work directly
with you to create custom bulk, packaged and food

local communities, a more just food system and a
healthier planet.
