Tri-State Dairy Exchange: Navigating the Future of Dairy Monthly Webinar Series
The mission of the Tri-State Dairy Team is to unite Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont in advancing dairy management through collaborative educational programs, addressing shared industry challenges, and fostering innovation across northern New England.
4.1 beautiful acres of open, sunny, south facing farmland on a quiet country road with great
neighbors. Across from pastures, amazing views and an Angus cow farm. No chemi-
cals or fertilizers ever applied to land. Perfect for field (flowers, vegetables, herbs, perenni-
als, berries) and/or hoop house operation. Several great local farmers markets nearby. Near New York/Southern Vermont border. $38,500.
I am looking to rent a small plot of land with access to water and electricity to start a market garden. I need between 4000 sq. ft to 1/8 of an acre and southern exposure. Would be awesome to have existing greenhouse space and doubly awesome if it's within 10 minutes of downtown Brattleboro.
My budget is between $100 to $150 a month + utilities. I have two years of full-time farming experience on intensive, no-till vegetable farms and additional years of farmers market/gardening/Wwoofing experience. My specialty will be growing vegetable, herb & flower starts for spring, summer, and fall home gardens. I will also plant an experimental garden beside a hoop house for testing plant varieties and saving seed.
Norwich: Second floor room in lovely farmhouse available in exchange for companionship, housekeeping and yardwork, and help caring for 2 dogs and 2 draft horses. 802-863-5625 or HomeShareVermont.org for application. Interview, references, background checks required. EHO
