Summary

Unlock vital funding opportunities designed to elevate sustainable agriculture and support historically underserved farmers across specific U.S. regions, including the Southeast and Caribbean. These grants provide essential resources for small-scale farmers looking to enhance their operations, whether through infrastructure improvements or vital support for beginning farmers.


Eligible applicants include nonprofits, small-scale farmers, and businesses with a focus on cultivating equitable food systems. For those with up to three years of farming experience, the Beginning Farmer Stipend offers funding ranges of $3,000 to $5,000, aiding in essential start-up and production costs.


This initiative is particularly beneficial for farmers committed to establishing viable and sustainable operations, with a priority given to historically underserved individuals.


Established farmers in the Southeast can also apply for Infrastructure Grants, which support farm viability improvements through funding of up to $10,000. These grants are aimed at enhancing tools, structures, and systems to bolster sustainability and operational efficiency. Farmers with over three years of experience at their current location are encouraged to participate, ensuring a focus on long-term resilience and productivity.
