Wednesday, June 1, 2005 Vermont Farms Association selects Cambium Group to design a web site that promotes agritourism in Vermont. For Immediate Release
Montpelier, VT - Cambium Group, LLC, a leading web site development firm specializing in innovative web site designs and content management systems launched a new web site today for the Vermont Farms! Association www.vtfarms.org
The Vermont Farms! Association was founded in 1998 to provide educational opportunities about agriculture to the public. One of the major goals of the association is to sustain and further develop the working landscape that characterizes Vermont. To help support the association's goals, Cambium developed a fun and fresh web site designed to help provide education to the public, promote agritourism and bring more tourism income to the 70 farm members of the Vermont Farms! Association.
A visit to the home page of the web site warmly invites you to learn more about Vermont farms, farm stays and events. Images of farm animals, children and families depict the fun experience of visiting a Vermont farm. Web site visitors can easily search for any type of farm or specific interest through an interactive search available on every page. With over 40 different categories to select from, web site visitors may be pleasantly surprised to learn what farms from every corner of the state have to offer. From alpacas to corn mazes, farm stays to wagon rides, the web site offers detailed information about farms in every season.
The new site also features a fun "barn-like" design, and simple, consistent navigation on every page. An interactive map on the home page displays the location of each farm and provides quick links to each farm member's individual page within the site. Visitors to Vermont farms can also get a quick glimpse of where farms are located throughout Northern, Central and Southern Vermont and will be a useful tool to help plan travel itineraries.
To keep the site up-to-date, timely and to promote each farm, association members may maintain their own farm's photographs, information about their offerings and events using Cambium Group's content management system. This ensures that the public will know what's happening at each farm around the state, all year long and will be inspired visit to a Vermont farm.
