Northwind Farm

Northwind Farm is an organic dairy in Cabot, VT. Owner Geordie Lynd has been in business since 2010 and currently milks a herd of 65 cows. Northwind Farm received a $30,000 Business Builder loan to support several infrastructure improvement projects this year, including an updated manure management system and renovated pastures with planned laneways. Geordie was also awarded grant funding through the VAAFM Pasture and Surface Water Fencing Program to help fund the pasture improvements. Combining grant dollars with a low-interest VFF loan can be a cost-effective way for small farms to finance larger capital projects.
