Successful project applications are those that encourage community and vendor participation in market events, educate the public on conservation or agricultural topics, and/or make local agricultural products accessible to diverse demographics. Applications are due by 11:59pm on December 31st of each year. Funds for awarded proposals are provided up front to the applicant.
Eligibility
To be eligible for Farmers Market Grant Program funding, the applicant must operate a farmers market located in Washington County. For the purposes of this grant program, a farmers market is where multiple local farmers sell fruit, vegetables, meat, cheese, bakery products, and other agricultural products directly to consumers. The market must be owned and operated by a local organization, not by one or more farmers or vendors. An organization is eligible for one grant per market location.
