What’s a heifer?
A heifer is a young cow who has not yet had a calf of her own. And who is very cute, as you can see.
What is Strolling of the heifers about:?
Whenever New England loses one of its family farms, it loses some its unique identity, some of its agrarian landscape, and some of its proud culture and heritage.
Seeking to slow down and even reverse the decline of New England farming, Strolling of the Heifers works to educate the public, and especially school children, about the importance of sustainable local agriculture; we work to preserve the livelihoods of farming families and the health of consumers who depend on local farm products; and we help maintain the patronage of tourists who are drawn to our agricultural environment.

As well, The strolling of the heifers provides a multitude of benefits of which we are proud to support.
The Strolling of the Heifers Microloan Fund for New England Farmers.
The mission of the fund is to address the difficulty that some New England farmers have in obtaining credit for projects that improve their operations and increase their income, as well as for emergency needs.
Several sources contributed initial capital for The Microloan Fund for New England farmers: four “Farm Relief” benefit concerts generously given by the legendary folksinger Pete Seeger, his grandson Tao Rodriguez-Seeger, and bluesman Guy Davis in September, 2008 and by the Paul Winter Consort in September, 2009; major grants from the Thomas Thompson Trust and Green Mountain Coffee Roasters; and private investments made through The Carrot Project.
