Thriving urban farms are essential to our local food system here in metro Atlanta. Our local farmers’ dedication and passion as food producers, educators, community builders, and environmental stewards inspires and motivates us. As growers plan and prepare through these winter months, Food Well Alliance is excited to announce the 2022 Farm Support Grant – a $5,000 funding opportunity ready to help address their needs on the farm as they gear up for the year ahead! The Farm Support Grant will make funding accessible to a much larger number of farms than in years past. In 2022, we aim to deploy a total of $150,000 to approximately 30 farms across our 5-county metro Atlanta service area.
Are you a grower with a registered farm operation (farm businesses/enterprises or nonprofit farm organizations) located in Clayton, Cobb, DeKalb, Fulton, or Gwinnett county? Do you consistently make your produce or farm products available to the public? We encourage you to apply! We will accept applications now through February 20, 2022 at 11:59pm.
