Applications are due April 10, 2025.
The Northeast Dairy Business Innovation Center is accepting applications for $1.1 million available through the Dairy Co-Packing Grant. This funding supports the development of new and expanded co-packing capabilities for processors, ultimately leading to more dairy products for consumers across the Northeast region. Funding will support training and technical assistance for co-packing production. Funds may also be used for specialized dairy equipment, marketing and branding services, and more. Dairy processors from 11 Northeast states who are starting new co-packing partnerships or improving existing co-packing services, or dairy brands from those states that use co-packing services, are eligible to apply. Eligible states are Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Massachusetts, Maryland, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and Vermont.
