In Arizona, the Business Builder Award Program will allocate $840,000 from 2025 to 2027, with grants ranging from $75,000 to $100,000, to financially assist local farmers, ranchers and processors, along with one-on-one business consulting, marketing and training support. Priority projects include those located in identified at-risk or distressed communities, as well as infrastructure projects that expand access to markets for small and mid-sized producers and projects that increase food processing capacity for small and mid-sized producers, develop food supply chains, or expand regional cooperatives and aggregation strategies that benefit small producers.
