Legal Food Hub: Resources for New England Agriculturalists

The Legal Food Hub, a project of Conservation Law Foundation, provides pro bono legal assistance to qualified farmers, food entrepreneurs, and food-oriented nonprofits in New England. By supporting those who grow, produce, and sell our local food, we’re helping to foster a sustainable, resilient, and just food system. And a healthy and thriving local food system means a healthy environment, climate, and economy for all New Englanders.

Our network of volunteer attorneys provide legal assistance in Maine, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, and Vermont. In Vermont, the Hub is hosted by the Center for Agriculture & Food Systems at Vermont Law School. Income-eligible participants are introduced to an attorney who has the expertise they need to accomplish their legal goals. During 2020, the Hub placed 105 cases across the region. The Hub’s volunteer attorneys donated more than 2,000 hours of time to help participants, amounting to over 3.8 million in finances.

In addition to matchmaking for free legal services, the Hub has created dozens of free guides to help small farmers and food businesses understand legal essentials that could affect their operations. Guides range in topic from nonprofit formation to trademark law, to employment law. During the winter, the Legal Food Hub also offers a free webinar series. Check out all of these user-friendly resources at our Resource Library.

Please don’t hesitate to contact the Legal Food Hub at legalfoodhub@clf.org to learn more.

Network Member Feature: Farm First Vermont 

Farm First is a Vermont-based program that provides farmers and their families counseling and access to resources and information to reduce stress. The program was born just over a decade ago when milk prices again declined precipitously, and agricultural service providers noted a dangerous rise in Vermont’s dairy farmers’ stress and financial strain. Following a farmer suicide in New York, representatives from the Vermont Agency of Agriculture approached their employee assistance program (EAP) to ask if something like an EAP – which provides employees with access to free and confidential counseling for a range of issues – could be set up for farmers. Reducing employee stress has been correlated with improved morale and productivity, improved health, and reduced injuries on the job. Farm First began, providing mental health, legal, financial, and family support to Vermont’s farm community. Farmers contact Farm First for mental health related issues, often layered with financial, legal and relational considerations. Farmers receive joint support from a farm resource expert and licensed mental health counselors who are knowledgeable of and sensitivity to farmers’ unique needs. The farm resource expert can connect farmers immediately to resources, while the counselor provides ongoing support.

Visit Farm First’s new website for contact information and resources.
