MVFP Board Member Sarah Morton Award with American Farmland Trust's Women for the Land Grant
Sarah was awarded $20,000 from AFT’s Women for the Land pilot transformational grants program, which assists women farmers and ranchers in successfully launching, growing, and sustaining farms in the face of forces impacting food and agricultural systems. Grants are intended to leverage existing resources to help a farmer 1) improve farm viability, 2) access, transfer, or permanently protect farmland, or 3) adopt regenerative farming practices and increase resilience to climate change.

MVFP is a grassroots organization that was established to develop educational and experiential learning opportunities through hands-on instruction.
