Catastrophic flooding, extreme weather, and crippling rains have been devastating.

Vermont’s family farms need your help to survive.

Vermont family farms need your support to recover from flooding and extreme weather

Sponsor highlight

Hannaford Supermarkets made a generous donation of $25,000 in April. Those funds are being distributed to farmers across the state, helping them recover from historic flooding and extreme weather and prepare for a successful growing season. In addition, they’re promoting the campaign across their Vermont stores, where shoppers can donate cash or scan the QR code to make an online donation. Thank you, Hannaford!

Farmers say…

“I want to thank you …

This spring has brought many challenges – from repairing flood damages to my cornfield, to getting crops and seeds ready and start all over again. Just to give you an idea of what this $1800 cold do for me: It could buy 2 weeks of cow grain, it could pay my help for one week, it could feed my calves for 37 weeks. Thank you for helping me as I continue to ‘plug along’!”

Sincerely, Peggy Ainsworth
