VACC, a program of the Vermont Economic Development Authority (VEDA), is a nonprofit corporation which provides credit to Vermont farmers, agricultural facilities, forestry and forest product-based businesses. Farm loans are available to strengthen existing farm operations, encourage diversification, support beginning farmers, and encourage marketing and processing of Vermont agricultural and forestry products. Financing is also available through the Authority to help Vermont agriculture- and forest product-based businesses undertake qualifying renewable energy generation and energy efficiency improvement projects, and to adopt technologies that enhance or support the development and implementation of renewable energy or energy efficiency, or both.
