Since 2019 New Chapter® has supported Food Connects' Farm To School efforts. For our Farm to School team, our Farm to School sponsors must align with our mission to cultivate healthy food and farm connections in cafeterias, classrooms, and communities, and New Chapter is no exception.
New Chapter is a Vermont-based vitamin and supplement company with a deeply held mission to act as environmental stewards focused on human health while working to increase accessibility to organic food, farming, and traditional herbal medicine. They are a Certified B Corporation, meaning they define success in holistic terms that encompass not just profit but also people and Earth. Their long-time commitment to our Farm To School program is proof of their pledge to the community.
The New Chapter team puts it best in their own words about what drives them to support programs like Farm To School.
“Partnering with Food Connects to support the Farm to School program and continuing to educate on best practices for sustainable, healthy farming means a lot to us at New Chapter. Transforming food systems for the sustainable long term and working to make nutrition more available to all is at the heart of what we do! We are a Brattleboro-based vitamin and supplement company with a deeply held mission to revolutionize natural wellness. Since 1982, we’ve been seeking out excellent quality ingredients to create formulas that the body can really, truly absorb. As environmental stewards focused on human health, we work to increase accessibility to organic food, sustainable farming, and traditional herbal medicine. We’re also a Certified B Corporation, meaning we’re committed to using our business resources to help solve social and environmental problems—both in communities around the world where our ingredients come from as well as locally right here in Vermont.”
We are so grateful for the support New Chapter provides to our Farm to School program—living up to their mission to increase the accessibility of organic food, especially for children. Their support helps drive our program forward, and it’s easy to see our sponsors' impact on schools. Thank you, New Chapter, for being a Farm To School champion!
