FARMER EMERGENCY FUND | NOFA-VT

Provides organic farmers with cash flow needed in times of an emergency. Farmers may request up to $5,000 in grants that do not need to be repaid. (This grant maximum is a temporary increase due to the flooding disaster.) Support with grant application available. The fund may be used to help replace infrastructure (for example greenhouse, barn, fencing), seed, feed, livestock, equipment and other losses caused by the disaster. It can be used to help pay outstanding farm-related bills and immediate needs (loan and mortgage repayments, etc). The fund is NOT an alternative to insurance and does NOT cover losses that are covered by a successful insurance claim or losses covered by other sources. The fund may NOT be used to cover projected income from crops lost from the disaster.
