Statement on behalf of the Board of Directors

Roger Allbee, Interim Board Chair 

In the spring of 2021, the Board of Directors of Strolling of the Heifers, posted a statement that it “had taken action to suspend all programs”, and that it would “evaluate the future of Strolling and its programs.”  Read this statement, here.

Following a comprehensive evaluation, the Board has acted to establish the Agritech Institute for Small Farms.  The Institute will promote the adoption of innovative agritech tools and land management practices by small farms, which improve farm financial viability and environmental performance.

The Institute will have a new website, soon.

The Board also continues to explore opportunities to support local agriculture in the Brattleboro community and region.   The Board hopes to have the parade and festival in a year’s time, Covid permitting.
