For Farmers
Farmer Grants
Nominate a farmer for a grant to acknowledge the incredible value they have to you, your family, and your community. Farmers who are nominated apply for a $500 to $1000 grant to support farm projects of their choice including equipment, infrastructure, repairs, etc.
A panel of reviewers (including farmers) decides among the applicants from all 50 states.
Nominations open annually on October 12th -- National Farmer's Day.
Grants are announced on the first Wednesday after Thanksgiving.
For Farmers Local Food Challenge
The Local Food Challenge is an ongoing program that will challenge you to think differently about your food. It starts with an eye-opening look inside your refrigerator and has been touted as "life-changing" by participants. Fun for the whole family.
Kids Plant For Farmers
The best way to build new generations who understand where their food comes from is to get them started young by planting a seed. Get your Kids Plant For Farmers kit here.
