Small Farm Action Day: Youth, Land Access, & Housing

Each year, Rural Vermont and NOFA-VT invite our farmer members and ally organizations to learn and exchange about the legislative process, advocacy and policy during the Spring legislative session. This event series offers farmers and the agrarian community at large - homesteaders, gardeners, (urban) farmers, medicine makers, and food activists alike  - opportunities to speak with lawmakers, voice their real-life issues and to learn more about the legislative process.
