Vermont Agency of Agriculture Food & Markets As the seasons begin to change once again and we begin to approach the holidays, Secretary Anson Tebbetts took some time to consider this month of transition and the many reasons to pause, reflect, and give thanks for our Veteran's and Agricultural community;
"We honor our community and the many ways that our fellow Vermonters contribute to our collective well-being. We are grateful for our harvest and being able to share our abundance.
As we honor Veterans on November 11, we are thinking of the Farmer Veteran Coalition of Vermont. With a mission to mobilize veterans to feed America, the Coalition has set up a robust network of a new generation of farmers and food leaders. Their work is to develop viable employment and meaningful careers through the collaboration of the farming and military communities.
This Veterans Day we also honor the Vermont National Guard. During the pandemic they provided valuable services to Vermonters, setting up health clinics and hospitals and providing critical support for food distribution. We are thankful for their ongoing help."
