The Strolling of the Heifers Microloan Fund: A credit resource for New England's farmers
Strolling of the Heifers is responding to Laurie’s and Randall’s question with a resounding “Yes!” In partnership with Chittenden Bank and The Carrot Project, we have created The Strolling of the Heifers Microloan Fund for New England Farmers.
The mission of the fund is to address the difficulty that some New England farmers have in obtaining credit for projects that improve their operations and increase their income, as well as for emergency needs.
Several sources contributed initial capital for The Microloan Fund for New England farmers: four “Farm Relief” benefit concerts generously given by the legendary folksinger Pete Seeger, his grandson Tao Rodriguez-Seeger, and bluesman Guy Davis in September, 2008 and by the Paul Winter Consort in September, 2009; major grants from the Thomas Thompson Trust and Green Mountain Coffee Roasters; and private investments made through The Carrot Project.

What's a heifer?
That's a question we're often asked. The answer is simple:
A heifer is a young cow who has not yet had a calf of her own. And who is very cute, as you can see.
Come to the Strolling of the Heifers Parade on Saturday, June 5 to see nearly 100 heifers, bedecked with flowers, ambling up Brattleboro's historic Main Street. Be prompt — the parade starts at 10 a.m. sharp, and the heifers lead the parade! |
