The award supports a two-year project through September 3, 2027, and is designated as a Value Added Producer Grant under the Local Agriculture Market Program (LAMP). This funding will support the development and expansion of local and regional food systems through direct producer-to-consumer marketing initiatives and value-added product development activities designed to increase access to and availability of locally and regionally produced agricultural products.

The FMLFPP, administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Marketing Service in partnership with Rural Business Cooperative Services, funds eligible agricultural businesses, cooperatives, and producer networks to strengthen direct marketing channels such as farmers markets, roadside stands, community-supported agriculture programs, and online sales platforms. Recipients must provide matching funds equivalent to 25 percent of the federal award amount. Grant projects are typically structured for 2 or 3 years in duration with the option for a one-year extension, though renewal of completed projects is not permitted.
