Vermont Seaberry Company took root in LivingFuture Foundation’s Building SHO Farm project…as a vital element of its perennial food system. Hailing originally from Eurasia and well-established in European countries, seaberries (or Sea Buckthorn, Hippophae Rhamnoides) were one of the more prominent plants in our orchard, and came into production within 3-4 years. A shrub that fixes nitrogen, grows abundant crops year-in and year-out, seemingly unfazed by Vermont’s late frosts and cold winters, yielding both nutritious leaves and fatty-acid-rich superfruits, seaberries were the perfect crop for introducing into Vermont’s food marketplace as ‘the orange juice of the North’. Once the company was launched, it became an independent entity, and part of SHO Farm, LLC.
