The Northern New England Presbytery has a minister in Northern VT working with farmers and reaching out to them with the gospel. Wonderful ministry and I think it is very much needed.
What I have learned from his ministry is that farmers in the Northeast are disappearing. They are in real trouble and farms are being foreclosed and auctioned off. In fact, so many farms are in trouble, banks have recently stop the auctions because there are no buyers. A very sad situation.
This deepening problem has gotten the attention of a New England Grocery Chain, Hannafords and they launched this website to educate the public.

I like supporting local merchants, and farmers in this region desperately need it. I would encourage folks to check it out.
