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. This in person event at the State House includes a policy briefing and advocacy training with Rural Vermont, NOFA-VT, and allies, the option to testify (in-person or remotely), the chance to meet and greet with your legislators, as well as a tour of the building. To make this event accessible to all, stipends are available for activists! RSVP required.  New! Can’t make it in person? You can livestream the event on Youtube (registration still required).
