  1. A UVM professor recently conducted energy audits on a number of Vermont farms including ours. The results have been quite interesting, some hard numbers to indicate what we were feeling intuitively. On the production end we were really efficient. However on the marketing/transportation end, we were worse than loading a semi in the Central Valley of California and driving it straight to Burlington, Vermont, which for us is only an hour drive. So this article resonates with me, especially the little diagram of “Farm to Restaurant”.
