About the company
Community Involved In Sustaining Agriculture, Inc., doing business as Community Involved In Agriculture (CISA), is a tax-exempt nonprofit organization headquartered in South Deerfield, Massachusetts, that has been registered to receive federal awards since March 2004. CISA serves as a prime grantee for the U.S. federal government and specializes in providing technical assistance, training, and support services to agricultural stakeholders, with a particular focus on beginning farmers, refugee and immigrant farmers, and socially disadvantaged agricultural producers in Massachusetts and the broader New England region. The organization functions as a convening entity and project lead, leveraging partnerships with regional agricultural community-based organizations to extend its reach and impact across diverse farming communities.
CISA has received multiple federal grant awards from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Rural Business Cooperative Services and the National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA), demonstrating sustained federal investment in its agricultural development work. Most notably, CISA received a $750,000 NIFA Beginning Farmer and Rancher Development Program (BFRDP) Project Grant awarded in September 2024, with a completion date of September 2027, to provide comprehensive technical assistance to beginning farmers across Massachusetts. Through this three-year grant, CISA manages a statewide project in collaboration with four regional community-based organizations—Berkshire Grown, Central Mass Grown, Northeast Harvest, and Southeastern MA Agricultural Partnership—with 82% of federal funds flowing to these CBOs. The grant supports at least 600 beginning farmers through 60 workshops, 21 networking events, and one-on-one technical assistance covering farming practices, business planning, financial management, natural resource conservation, and marketing strategies, with 50% of the budget dedicated to serving socially disadvantaged or limited-resource farmers. Additionally, CISA has received multiple Rural Business Cooperative Services grants (2022, 2023, 2025) and previously managed a USDA Office of Advocacy and Outreach grant focused on supporting refugee and immigrant farmers in the Springfield, Massachusetts area through peer teacher training programs. CISA also functions as a sub-grantee recipient under prime grants from the University of Delaware, participating in projects addressing employee management and leadership training for farm managers, direct marketing strategies for specialty crop farmers, climate change adaptation and heat risk management for New England farmers, and climate-smart agricultural practice implementation.
