Tomorrow, January 28, all of us at the Intervale Center will take a moment to remember Michelle Gardner-Quinn on what would have been her 27th birthday. Several of us had the pleasure of working with her when she participated in a UVM research project that laid the foundations for the Intervale Food Hub.

We’ll be taking a quiet moment to watch this beautiful video based on “This I Believe,” an essay Michelle wrote that conveys with grace, power, and beauty the reasons we’re do the work that we do.
For more information on Michelle and the incredible impact her legacy continues to make in the world (including generous annual support of the Intervale Center’s work), please visit Michelle’s Earth Foundation.
I believe that we should understand our place in our regional ecosystems and communities, as well as pledge our allegiance to the earth as a whole.
