The Vermont Land Trust is accepting applications for the 2022 Eric Rozendaal Memorial Award to recognize business innovation, environmental practices, and giving back to the community.

This $5,000 award recognizes Vermont farmers and farm workers for land stewardship, innovation, and service to community.

Farmers who are actively working on or managing a commercial farm operation in the state, are residents of Vermont, and have not received this award in the past can apply. We are accepting applications until June 30, 2022.

A selection committee made up of leaders in the Vermont’s agricultural community will review and score the applications and select a winner. The award will be announced at our annual meeting in the fall.
