Northeast SARE Farmer Grant

Proposals are due by December 9, 2025.
The Northeast SARE Farmer Grant program provides funds to farmers to explore innovative concepts in sustainable agriculture conducted through experiments, surveys, prototypes, on-farm demonstrations or other research and education techniques. Projects must be led by a farmer in Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Massachusetts, Maryland, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, West Virginia, Vermont, or Washington, D.C. who collaborates with a technical advisor. Projects should explore an innovative practice and/or introduce an existing practice to a new audience of farmers, benefiting the project leader and other farmers in the region. Projects typically range from $5,000 to $30,000, and there is a total of approximately $800,000 available.
