PRODUCE. PREPARED.

HOW DOES JUST CUT CONNECT FARMS TO MARKETS?

Just Cut is instrumental in making local produce accessible in K-12 schools, colleges, hospitals, and co-op kitchens. With over a decade of production experience, Just Cut supports buyers who value local food, and appreciate the ease of lightly processed local produce. Just Cut brings a new market to regional farms by providing crop planning, forward contracts, and guaranteed high volume sales at fair market prices.

For Buyers

We aggregate, inspect, wash and prepare produce from Vermont and regional farms for your ease of use. Our easy order and delivery process help minimize your labor costs while maximizing the nutrition, variety, and tastiness of your meals.

For Farmers

We contract with farmers at a mutually agreed price in advance of the growing season, so farmers have a guaranteed sale before planting.

WHAT OUR BUYERS SAY

Sydney Howard

Partnering with Just Cut, a program of the Center for an Agricultural Economy, has been a staple for Sodexo's Vermont First program. Their locally grown prepped produce provides our accounts with a high-quality product that saves on labor and allows us to live out our values by supporting local farmers. In 2025, we purchased over 80,000 pounds of Just Cut produce for the University of Vermont, Norwich University, Champlain College and St. Michael's College's kitchens. We are excited to continue to grow our partnership moving forward.
