Farm Credit East offers Northeast Farmers Market Grants of up to $500 to support public farmers markets. Grants may be used to support participating farmers, market enhancements, marketing efforts, and/or programs to support disadvantaged communities or improve access to fresh, local food.
Eligibility
These grants are intended for public markets where multiple farms sell products, not for individual farm markets. Farmers markets must be within Farm Credit East's eight-state territory: Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, and Vermont.
Terms
Grants are up to $500 per market.
Application Instructions
Apply through the Farm Credit East community-support grants page. This is a recurring annual program (typically promoted around National Farmers' Market Week).
