About this program
The Department of Agriculture Agricultural Marketing Service funds projects developing local and regional food business enterprises through CFDA 10.172, with the most recent grant awards dated September 30, 2018—over eight years ago. This program is dormant; no grant opportunities have been posted since May 2018.
The program funds concrete local food infrastructure and market development: food hubs aggregating and distributing produce, processing and commercial kitchen facilities, feasibility studies for farm-to-institution and farm-to-school channels, supply chain logistics, value-added product development, community-supported agriculture networks, and mobile slaughter and processing units. Recent awards funded projects such as the Three Sister Kitchen supporting 150 local producers in value-added food businesses ($437,667), the Purdue Extension Farm Connect program ($515,448), the Wind River Food Sovereignty Development Project on the Wind River Reservation in Wyoming ($1,054,239), and the Share Grounds rural kitchen incubator and aggregation center in Michigan ($2,114,965).
Funding is overwhelmingly dominated by the USDA Agricultural Marketing Service, which issued all 472 awards totaling $73.8 million in federal obligations over the program's funding history from 2014 through 2018. The portfolio is virtually 100 percent Project Grants with one Cooperative Agreement. Recent funding concentrated heavily in 2015 with 286 awards; subsequent years averaged roughly 45 awards annually. Typical award magnitudes ranged from planning grants around $100,000 down to smaller implementation efforts under $500,000, with occasional larger implementation projects exceeding $1 million.
Grant opportunities posted in 2015, 2017, and 2018 solicited approximately $13 million per fiscal year and required a 25 percent cost-share match. Eligible applicants included agricultural businesses and cooperatives, producer networks and associations, CSA networks and associations, nonprofits, economic development entities, regional farmers market authorities, and local and tribal governments. Planning grants historically ranged from $25,000 to $100,000; implementation grants were larger but capped amounts varied by cycle.
No new opportunities have been posted since the May 2018 deadline. Program activity is not current.
