In 2025, Food Well Alliance plans to distribute $274,000 in Farm Grants through two types of support: a $25,000 Farm Forward Grant for two farms undertaking significant improvement projects and a $8,000 Farm Support Grant for 28 farms focused on smaller projects.
By offering two grants, Food Well can reach more farms while also investing in larger projects that enable farmers to scale and strengthen their businesses so they can continue providing healthy, local food to communities. Farmers are encouraged to apply for both grants, though they will only receive one. This approach gives applicants the chance to receive the $8,000 Farm Support Grant if they’re not selected for the $25,000 Farm Forward Grant.
