Read Vermont’s Nutrition Recommendations Here. As the Farm Bill is up for reauthorization this year, a coalition of Vermont organizations came together to craft common recommendations that seek to protect and improve the farm bill nutrition programs. With your help, we would like to get over 500 Vermonters (organizations and individuals) to sign on in support of these recommendations.
