New Jersey Agritourism Grant Program (NJATP)

The New Jersey Agritourism Grant Program provides funding to support New Jersey agritourism businesses in their efforts to attract, entertain, and educate visitors. The Agritourism Fund is an annual appropriation established by the Division of Travel and Tourism (Department of State); the New Jersey Department of Agriculture administers the grants in consultation with NJTT.

Agricultural entities operating in New Jersey, including farms, ranches, on-farm wineries/breweries/distilleries, non-farm brewery/distillery/wineries, and other agricultural businesses pursuing eligible activities. The applicant's operation must be physically located in New Jersey. Priority is given to businesses whose agricultural products are primarily sourced from or produced in New Jersey.

A total of $5 million is available; applicants may request up to $100,000. There is no match requirement, though evidence of matching funds is recommended. Pre-award costs incurred on or after January 1, 2026 may be reimbursed. Projects should not exceed 12 months (earliest start April 1, 2026; latest end April 1, 2027) and are funded through quarterly reimbursement.

Submit a completed NJATP application and all supplemental materials to NJATP@ag.nj.gov. The 2025-26 cycle closed January 30, 2026 at 5:00 PM EST; applications received after the deadline are considered on a rolling basis, subject to funding availability.
