NOFA-VT’s Farmer Emergency Fund supports organic and NOFA-VT member farmers who have been adversely affected by natural and unnatural disasters, such as crop failure, extreme weather, flooding, fire, or barn collapse. The Farmer Emergency Fund provides grants and zero percent interest loans to farmers in need as funds are available. Current project includes collecting names of skilled dairy workers who will be paid by the Emergency Fund to fill in on dairy farms as needed during the COVID-19 crisis.
