On Aug. 28, 2011 Tropical Storm Irene dumped torrential rain onto the Green Mountains, and Vermonters became victims of historic flooding. Among those who suffered the most devastating losses were the state’s farmers.


 

As part of the nation-wide effort to help, Sam Lincoln and Buster Olney, brothers who grew up on a Randolph Center dairy farm, are raising funds to aid farmers in need. Funds will be raised through an online auction on this site, through donations and through an event that will be held at Vermont Technical College. Former Boston Red Sox General Manager and new head of Cubs baseball operations Theo Epstein will join Yankees General Manager Brian Cashman and Pirates General Manager Neal Huntington – as well as longtime baseball reporter Peter Gammons, a descendant of Ethan Allen – for a baseball roundtable on the eve of the sport’s offseason. **Update – October 31st** Due to a conflicting family obligation Peter Gammons has had to withdraw from appearing on November 12th.

All proceeds raised through Going to Bat for Vermont Farmers will be distributed by the Vermont Community Foundation’s Farm Disaster Relief Fund, which was established in partnership with the Vermont Agency of Agriculture and grants aid to farmers in need.
