The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Marketing Service awarded a $589,825 Project Grant to Navore LLC on September 30, 2024 under the Farmers Market and Local Food Promotion Program (CFDA 10.175). The purpose of this grant is to invigorate local and regional food systems by connecting local producers directly and indirectly with businesses and consumers through Navore's innovative online platform. Key activities include onboarding over 40 local producers to conduct indirect sales, establishing account set-up and training, enhancing distribution and wholesale features, connecting producers with wholesale customers and local businesses, and creating plans to reduce on-farm waste. The project aims to increase market access for small and medium-sized local food producers, develop more efficient distribution networks, and strengthen the local food economy. Navore will collaborate with sub-awardee LID Cuisine, The Earth's Table, to deliver these services.
