Bread and Butter Farm

Wind damaged greenhouse at Bread and Butter Farm

At the end of October 2017, a strong wind storm swept through Vermont causing downed trees, power lines, and a variety of damage. At Bread and Butter Farm in Shelburne, they lost the plastic off their largest high tunnel, had minor damage to the new roll up sides of their new high tunnel, and a small propagation greenhouse was completely destroyed. With a $10,000 Emergency Loan from the Vermont Farm Fund, Bread and Butter Farm was able to repair both high tunnels in time to salvage some of the winter greens and crops growing inside.
