**Update (2026):** This project continues, rebranded as Re-Nuble's 'Circular Solutions for Resilient Farms (CSRF)' initiative, backed by a $4.6M USDA grant. Details: [re-nuble.com](https://landingpage.re-nuble.com/usda-resilient-farms-initiative).


Project participants use containerized insect-farming technology: food and farm waste feeds Black Soldier Fly larvae, which convert it into nutrient-packed frass and protein-rich larvae, and participants market the resulting climate-smart commodities. Grower economic benefits include: premium pricing for carbon-smart commodities, reduced fertilizer costs, reduced water consumption and related costs, potential reduction in environmental regulatory compliance/fees (where applicable) and expanded marketing opportunities to Re-Nuble or local markets.

Small and specialty-crop farms in four states, enrolling by inquiry through Re-Nuble — not a public application round. The project page's call is direct: "Are you a small or specialty crop farmer in New York, Michigan, Mississippi, or Kentucky? Join us in transforming how we care for our soil and farms through circular practices."

Where. Kentucky, Michigan, Mississippi and New York. "This project brings containerized insect farming technology to 16 small and specialty rural farms in Kentucky, Michigan, Mississippi, and New York."

Who. Small and specialty-crop farmers — individual producers, not institutions. The page also describes the target as "small, specialty rural farmers."

Scope is the real constraint. The cohort is 16 farms across four states, funded by "a $4.6M USDA grant." Whatever else you qualify for, there are only 16 slots.

No formal eligibility criteria are published. Re-Nuble publishes no acreage minimum or maximum, no income test, no definition of "small," no commodity list beyond "specialty crop," no years-of-experience requirement, no SAM.gov/UEI or farm-number requirement, and no audience restriction (beginning, veteran, socially disadvantaged). Selection appears to be case by case.

Your actual next step is to ask rather than apply: "Watch our webinar here to learn more and e-mail us at info@re-nuble.com to learn more and get involved," or use the "Sign Up to Learn More" form on the Circular Solutions for Resilient Farms page. Ask specifically whether slots remain in your state before planning around it.

Context for the record: this began as a USDA Partnerships for Climate-Smart Commodities project. PCSC was cancelled by USDA on April 14, 2025, but this project continues, rebranded as Re-Nuble's Circular Solutions for Resilient Farms (CSRF) initiative, and the page is still actively recruiting farms.

No dollar amount, payment rate, or cost-share percentage is published for participating farms. The project page promises only a qualitative benefit: "Incentive Payment: Receive financial support during the first year of participation."

The non-cash side is spelled out: use of containerized insect-farming technology that converts farm and food waste into insect frass; "Expert Guidance: Work with crop advisors to develop a tailored nutrient management plan using proven practices"; and "Marketing Support: Get a customized strategy to market and distribute your produce."

Scope is fixed and small — the "$4.6M USDA grant" covers "16 small and specialty rural farms in Kentucky, Michigan, Mississippi, and New York," and "Over two years, we'll track soil health, water retention, and carbon emissions."

Eligibility is limited to small or specialty-crop farmers in New York, Michigan, Mississippi or Kentucky. Because the incentive figure is not posted, contact Re-Nuble's general office for the actual amount before counting on it.
