Vermont Specialty Crop Block Grant Program

Applications are due by January 8, 2025.
The Vermont Agency of Agriculture, Food & Markets is accepting applications for Specialty Crop Block Grants to strengthen Vermont’s specialty crop industries and producer associations. Approximately $180,000 is available to fund grants ranging from $15,000 to $45,000. Any business, organization, or individual can apply; however, projects must benefit more than one specialty crop business, organization, or individual to be eligible for funding. Projects can leverage efforts to promote and market specialty crops, assist with research and development related to specialty crops, expand availability and access to specialty crops, or address challenges confronting specialty crop producers.
