There are a number of grants and incentives available for Northeast agriculture businesses, but learning about their availability and navigating the application can be a challenge. To help with this process, Farm Credit East has released an update to its report identifying federal, regional and state grants, loan guarantees, and other incentives available to assist Northeast producers of all types and sizes.

In conjunction with National Farmers’ Market Week, Farm Credit East is announcing its recent awarding of $100,000 in small grants to 186 farmers’ markets and farmers’ market organizations across the Northeast. 

The Farm Credit Northeast AgEnhancement Program, a joint effort of Farm Credit East and CoBank, recently provided more than $100,000 in grant funding to 22 organizations to assist their efforts to encourage youth leadership development, support young and beginning farmer initiatives, promote diversity, equity and inclusion, and advance northeast agriculture, forestry and commercial fishing.
