The Vermont Agency of Agriculture, Food and Markets invites dairy farmers, dairy processors, and dairy support organizations to join a conversation on the future of Vermont dairy. As the dairy sector continues to evolve, the State is seeking input on your vision for the next ten years and the action needed to get us there.
Who should attend: Dairy farmers, dairy processors, dairy support organizations (a meeting for the public will also be available)
Why attend: Use your expertise to help identify the top priorities for innovating and growing Vermont’s dairy economy
When: Meetings will happen in person in each county (with two meetings for Addison and Franklin) during a weekday and there will be additional opportunities to join a virtual call. Meetings will be approximately 2 hours long. Meeting schedule will be shared as it is developed. Earlier dates for March will be forthcoming.
