Why this Project Area? 

The Connecticut River Valley contains some of the most fertile soils in New England, but livestock farmers in this region face unique challenges regarding water quality. AFT is leading a larger, multi-year project focused on financial and technical assistance for regenerative livestock farming in this geographic area, and significant funding has been made available through this project as microgrants. Because of this, the NEFMP livestock grant is limited to farmers located in the counties listed here.

Read more about AFT’s work in this area through our greater Western New England Regenerative Livestock Farming regional collaborative partnership project. 

Some examples of eligible projects include: Cover crops, pasture seeding, pollinator habitat creation, rotational grazing, reducing tillage, soil amendments.
