Conservation 101 is a one-day training designed to explore how conservation practices function on working Vermont farms, and why they matter beyond the farm gate.
This session will provide a high-level overview of watershed planning, grazing systems, floodplain management, and working lands stewardship. Participants will gain a clearer understanding of how these practices improve soil health, protect water quality, reduce flood risk, and strengthen farm resilience.
Join fellow farmers, NOFA-VT, and the Vermont Foodbank for this free webinar to learn more about accepting SNAP/3SquaresVT at farm stores and farmstands.
Part of the Farmer as Retailer series, this conversation brings farmers together to “talk shop” about farm retail systems and the value of making fresh, local food accessible to our diverse communities.
We’ll cover an introduction to SNAP/3SquaresVT and hear from farmers about the benefits of becoming SNAP-authorized, along with the basic steps required to accept this form of payment.
The Vermont Conservation Plan — also known as 30x30, Act 59, and Vermont’s Community Resilience and Biodiversity Protection Act — calls for a statewide conservation plan, developed by the Vermont Housing & Conservation Board (VHCB) in consultation with the Agency of Natural Resources, that solicits input from communities, landowners, and partners across Vermont.
