New Mexico Specialty Crop Block Grant Program

Proposals are due February 14, 2026.
More than $500,000 in funding is available to New Mexico producers through USDA’s Specialty Crop Block Grant Program, administered by the New Mexico Department of Agriculture. Projects should focus on marketing, training, certification, food safety, pest control or plant health that benefit specialty crops broadly. Producer groups, nonprofits, trade associations, and universities are eligible applicants. Projects cannot solely benefit a single organization, product or individual.
