The 2011-2012 Local First Vermont Resource Guide and Coupon Book: A project of Vermont Businesses for Social Responsibility

Letter from Governor Peter Shumlin:

“I’m proud to live in a state where buying local means buying the best – the freshest locally grown produce, the highest quality products, and the best locally provided service by our own neighbors.

Buying local also means our dollars stay in Vermont. As someone who co-owns a business in Vermont, I recognize that ‘buying local’ supports our employers, provides jobs for Vermonters and gives a boost to the state economy.

Hats off to Vermont Businesses for Social responsibility for making the buy-local commitment even easier by offering these coupons and information about what’s available and why it matters. Thanks also to everyone who makes it a priority to support Vermont’s farmers, retail stores, restaurants, craft shops and other businesses.

Shopping locally means everybody wins.

Gov. Peter Shumlin ”
