Farmer Support
Supporting our island farmers is at the forefront of Slough Farms mission. Since 2018 we have given over $60k to support the Martha's Vineyard agricultural society grant program for island farmers and homesteaders. Funds are available to both production farmers and backyard growers each fall to support innovative projects not able to be funded by other initiatives.
Slough Farm has established a relationship with Dr. Erin Masur from Sheep Rock Vet in order to provide 24/7 Veterinary telemedicine service for farm animals. Dr. Masur comes a few times a year to complete herd and flock health exams and diagnose long term issues for farmers. Once she has been to your farm, she can text, email, call or video chat with you to assist with emergencies. Slough Farm is Dr. Masur’s host and keeper of supplies in the event something is needed right away. We are so grateful to Dr. Masur for taking on MV as part of her client load!
