Accessory On-Farm Business Farmer Survey |
The Natural Resources Board (NRB) is collaborating with Vermont Agency of Agriculture, Food and Markets (VAAFM) to produce a report for the legislature on Accessory On-Farm Business (AOFB).
Accessory On-Farm Business is a statewide municipal land use category outlined in Act 143 of 2018. It expands opportunities for farmers to diversify operations through on-farm sales of agricultural products as well as educational, recreational, or social events. For more information, visit the AOFB website.
The report will explore current conditions, challenges, and opportunities to strengthen and expand AOFBs. This survey is one strategy we’re using to solicit critical input from stakeholders around the state – we greatly appreciate your time and feedback!
