Minnesota Farmers Market Nutrition Assistance Grant

Applications are due by February 20, 2025.
Minnesota Department of Agriculture has a grant available to farmers market associations to help support nutrition assistance programs at the markets. The Farmers Market Nutrition Assistance Grant will provide $1,500 to $10,000 in funding to farmers markets in the state so they can increase participation in food assistance programs like Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), Farmers Market Nutrition Program (FMNP), Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program (SFMNP), Market Bucks, and Power of Produce (POP) Club. To be eligible, a farmers market association must be located in Minnesota and intend to participate in at least one nutrition assistance program in 2025 that provides food directly to program participants at the farmers market.
