The Hope & Main organization will receive $609,225 from the US Department of Agriculture Agricultural Marketing Service under the Farmers Market and Local Food Promotion Program (CFDA 10.175) to support direct-to-consumer marketing of locally processed food products made by members of Hope & Main, Rhode Island's premier food business incubator. The project aims to promote and expand local and regional food systems through coordinated marketing efforts for food entrepreneurs participating in Hope & Main's incubator program, with a focus on building an inclusive and diverse community of food producers. The three-year project grant beginning September 30, 2022 will allow Hope & Main to coordinate direct sales and marketing opportunities for value-added products made by incubator members, helping develop, expand, and promote Rhode Island's local food economy.
