Each year subsequently, the Vermont State Legislature has annually appropriated funds to the Vermont Agency of Agriculture, Food & Markets to support market opportunities with an institutional or other wholesale focus in Vermont.
In 2023, the Vermont Agency of Agriculture, Food and Markets is focusing this grant on institutional market development and removing wholesale market access as a funding priority, due to overlap with existing VAAFM grant programs supporting wholesale market access. VAAFM hosted an informational applicant webinar on October 14, 2025. The webinar was recorded and posted below.
