Grant Ready Live: Monthly Farm Grant Workshop

A live, 90-minute farm grant workshop on Google Meet, once a month. Each month we work through one grant topic together, step by step, using the same process behind $143,796 in grants and cost-share for our small farm since 2021.

Winter 2026–27 workshops

• Tue, Dec 8: Plan Your 2027 Farm Grants. Match your farm goal to the right programs and build your deadline calendar.
• Tue, Jan 12: EQIP and High Tunnels. How NRCS cost-share works and how to get your application in.
• Tue, Feb 9: Value-Added Product Grants. Turn a product idea into a fundable project plan.
• Tue, Mar 9: Build a Grant Budget That Scores. Allowable costs, match, quotes and the budget justification.

All workshops run 7:00 to 8:30 PM Central.
