Rural Vermont, a nonprofit advocacy group founded by farmers in 1985, is offering a limited number of “micro-grants” up to $500 to Vermont farms damaged by the recent rain and floods. Farm Aid is partnering with Rural Vermont to provide the grants.
The micro-grants will be awarded based on need and on a demonstrated commitment to Rural Vermont’s vision of a Vermont local food system that is self-reliant, and based on “reverence for the earth.”
Grant applications are available at www.ruralvermont.org, or by calling 223-7222. Completed applications are due by July 12, and grant recipients will be notified by July 22.
