In May’s VermontBiz, we focus on something that’s on everyone’s mind these days: local economics and affordability. The Crop Cash Program that makes our beloved farmer’s markets more affordable for SNAP benefits users and puts more dollars in the pockets of local farmers continues this year, but funding may be in question.

VermontBiz also reports on the story of a local spa owner that’s building stability with a new membership program, and highlights a unique opportunity to expand Vermont’s wool and fiber

economy.

Plus, how a bill banning herbicide that is liked to Parkinson’s is progressing in the Vermont legislature.
