Creswick Farms received a $200,000 project grant award from the US Department of Agriculture Agricultural Marketing Service under the Meat and Poultry Inspection Readiness Grants – Supplemental Funding program (CFDA 10.180). The grant period runs from September 30, 2021 to September 29, 2024.
The funding will support Creswick Farms' efforts to complete improvements to their expanded 7,200 square foot meat processing facility in Ravenna, Michigan. The facility expansion and remodeling aims to allow for increased production volume and obtain a federal grant of inspection, consistent with the stated purpose of the federal grant program to assist meat and poultry slaughter and processing facilities with costs associated with obtaining federal inspection approval.
