AALV: The Association of Africans Living in Vermont, Inc.

The local USDA Farm Service Agency has provided invaluable and excellent support to the New Farms for New Americans (NFNA) project this year.  In addition to running training sessions, linking farmers to land and marketing opportunities, providing business technical assistance and micro loans to farmers in the program, they have won donations, and $6,490.00 of funds to be put directly to the project. Thank you Farm Service Agency for your efforts to provide equal outreach and opportunity to all members of Vermont’s farming community!

AALV is also pleased to announce that New Farms for New Americans just won a significant award of funding from the US Department of Agriculture’s Outreach and Assistance to Socially Disadvantaged Farmers and Ranchers Program (OASDFR).  You can read the announcement of the OASDFR awards here: http://www.AALV is also pleased to announce that New Farms for New Americans also just won a significant award of funding from the US Department of Agriculture’s Outreach and Assistance to Socially Disadvantaged Farmers and Ranchers Program (OASDFR).  You can read the announcement of the OASDFR awards here: http://www.usda.gov/wps/portal/usda/usdahome?contentidonly=true&contentid=2010%2F06%2F0310.xml.    //
