Kit Perkins

Kit has over 30 years of experience in community organizing and planning, with a specific expertise in food system planning.  As the original Project Manager for the Vermont Farm to Plate strategic planning process, she has seen first hand how a thriving sustainable local food system strengthens Vermont's economy and promotes a healthy environment for everyone.  Kit also worked with Health Care Without Harm, promoting sustainable local foods in New England healthcare institutions.  In recent years, Kit supported the local food system as a Project Manager at Rise 'N Shine home food delivery business in Charlotte, and as a cashier in the Front End at City Market/Onion River Coop in Burlington.  Outside of work, Kit loves to hike, garden, cook, read, spend time with her young adult kids (as they will allow ;)), and volunteer as a long-term board member with KidsGardening.org.
