Farmers needed for focus groups in MA!
March 10, 2015 @ 11:00 am - 2:30 pm
Join us for a discussion on the affects of healthcare and child care on farm businesses.
Researchers at the University of Vermont are seeking farmers to participate in listening sessions as part of a study on healthcare and child care. This study is looking at the ways healthcare and child care costs impact farm business in the Northeast and is intended to help develop policy that minimizes the challenges and maximizes the opportunities farm families face when making household-level decisions, such as healthcare and child care.
