New Grants for 2023
I could not be more excited to share this list of Farm to Institution projects we are a part of starting this year. With expanded capacity and partnerships we will move more local farm food to our institutions than ever.
These funds are for a total of $240,000 over multiple years and is shared with many partners in the community and co-op members, and we are still waiting on more grants and partnerships to finalize. In the coming months as things play out we will share the details and further draw out the future of our farm to institution work.
